Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or other high heat cooking oil like vegetable oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/8 tsp cayenne powder
- 1 small lime zest
Instructions
- In a large heavy bottomed pot or stove top popcorn device, like a Whirley Pop, melt coconut oil and add kernels over medium high heat.
- Cover pot and let kernels pop, about 5-7 minutes, until popping slows down being careful not to leave the pot too long to prevent burning.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a small sauce pot and stir in salt, coriander, chili powder, garlic, cumin, cayenne and lime zest.
- Once popcorn is done popping, pour melted butter and spice mixture over top and begin stirring with a heat safe spatula trying to coat every piece. Some pieces will have more seasoning than others but that is ok.
- Transfer to large bowl or serving bags and enjoy! Popcorn can be kept in an air tight container or bag for up to one week.
