healthy popcorn recipe

This is a great, healthy snack for your entire family!

I’ve been told that corn has absolutely no nutritional value and that if you’re trying to live healthy, you should 86 it from your diet.  Well, I digress.

My kids and I love corn, and we can’t live without popcorn.  Now, microwave popcorn isn’t good for you at all, but here’s an easy recipe (under 5 minutes) that you and your kiddos can make and snack on!

Healthy Popcorn Recipe

5 Tbsp  olive oil, or coconut oil (if canola oil is all you have, it will work as well)
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1 large covered pot
Spices and herbs to taste

Heat oil in pot on medium high heat.
Pour in popcorn kernels.
Shake spices and herbs over kernels.
Cover.
Lets the heat build in the covered pot.
When you hear a kernel pop, start shaking the pot over the burner.
Shake until you hear very few kernels popping, and remove from heat.
Most of the remainder of the kernels will pop with the built up heat.
Wait a moment and open lid.
Add additional spices if desired.

(My favorite is dill!)
