Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot on medium heat and add the olive oil and one popcorn kernel.
  • Put the lid on slightly ajar and listen for the one kernel to pop. Once that kernel pops, add in the rest of your kernels. Put the lid on and give the pot a few gentle shakes. Put the lid slightly ajar again and listen and you should start to hear the popcorn pop.
  • Once the popcorn slows to a few seconds between pops, remove your pot and turn off the heat. With this technique, nearly all of the kernels pop and nothing burns.
  • Add your salt to taste, and or any other toppings.
  • Enjoy!
