Stovetop Popcorn
popcorn in the pot
Between popcorn popping machines and microwave popcorn, making stovetop popcorn is kind of a lost art. Time to teach the kids an essential life skill and drag out an old pot out of the cupboard!
Servings:
Makes 6 Cups
You’ll Need
- 3 Tbsp canola oil
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 1 tsp salt
- Suggested toppings: grated parmesan cheese, chili powder, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, dill, rosemary, cumin, black pepper, and lime juice
Prep and Cook
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan
When it’s hot, add the popcorn kernels and salt
Place a lid on the pot, setting it slightly askew to let the steam escape
Pop the corn until it slows to almost nothing, replacing the lid and shaking the pot when the popping is frequent
Remove the pot from the heat and take off the lid when the popping has stopped - Pour the popcorn into a bowl and season with any of the suggested toppings
