Olive Oil and Sea Salt Popcorn

Ingredients - Serves 4

Let's Get Started

  1. In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 3 popcorn kernels to the pot and cover.
  3. When the kernels pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels and cover the pot again.
  4. Shake the pot occasionally to make sure the heat is evenly distributed.
  5. When the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit covered for 1 minute to make sure all the kernels have popped.
  6. Remove the lid, sprinkle the popcorn with sea salt, and toss it to distribute the salt.
  7. Serve the popcorn immediately, or store it in an airtight container.
