Serves: 6 cups
Ingredients
  • 3 Tbsp canola oil
  • ⅓ cup popcorn kernels
  • 1 tsp rosemary sea salt (or ½ tsp sea salt + ½ tsp finely chopped rosemary leaves)
  • More rosemary sea salt, if desired
Instructions
  1. Place the oil, sea salt, plus 4 popcorn kernels in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. (Note: Do not use anything bigger than a 4 qt pot - this will cause the popcorn to burn).
  2. Cover and wait until you hear the first kernel pop.
  3. Pour in the ⅓ cup of kernels in an even layer and remove the pot from heat for exactly 30 seconds. According to Simply Recipes, this 30 seconds brings all the kernels to the right temperature so they pop more quickly, thus preventing burning.
  4. Return pot to the burner, cover with a slightly ajar lid, and cook on medium-high heat until popping slows to several seconds between pops.
  5. Immediately pour the popcorn into a bowl to prevent burning.
  6. The rosemary sea salt flavor should already be present, as the salt was added to the oil, but topping the popcorn with another small sprinkle of rosemary sea salt makes them even tastier.
Notes
I always use this method, which I got from Simply Recipes, when making popcorn. It's the best!
