Fit Popcorn Recipe
A healthier popcorn recipe that you can eat without guilt! Ideal for a fit snack, an uncontrollable craving, or for a good movie session.
Portions: 2 people
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp popcorn corn
- ½ tbsp coconut oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp turmeric
Instructions
- Start by placing the popcorn corn in a bowl, along with the salt and turmeric, and set aside.
- Add coconut oil to a pot.
- Turn on the heat to medium power and let the coconut oil melt.
- Add the previously seasoned popcorn and cover the pot.
- Shake the pot a little, to spread the corn.
- You will start to hear the first pops of popcorn.
- Shake the pot every now and then so that the popcorn that is done doesn't burn, and the popcorn that isn't done yet can pop.
- When you no longer hear pops or when they decrease dramatically, turn off the heat.
- Leave the pot covered for 2 or 3 min so that the popcorn settles and doesn't pop out when you open the lid (otherwise you might get hurt).
- Arrange the popcorn in individual bowls or a large bowl and enjoy!
Notes
You can use the spices you like best. I used turmeric, but you can also use paprika, cumin, thyme, and rosemary, you name it. Whatever you like.
Grated cheese or nutritional yeast (for a vegetarian/vegan version) it will also work well!
If you want to make sweet popcorn, use a dash of honey, coconut sugar, brown sugar, or another sweetener.
Another suggestion might be to add a chocolate topping.
A little cinnamon also works.
If you want to make it fat-free, that's also possible. Just put a dash of water in the pot (just to cover the bottom) and pop the popcorn.
