Ingredients

• 1 cup Popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or any neutral oil)
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the coconut oil.

Step 2

Place 2 or 3 popcorn kernels in the pot to test the heat. When they pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.

Step 3

Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping and to prevent the kernels from burning. Once the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat.

Step 4

Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, orange zest, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the honey is warmed through and the ingredients are well mixed (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.

Step 6

Drizzle the honey and orange mixture over the popcorn while tossing gently to coat evenly.

Step 7

Let the popcorn cool for a minute or two to allow the coating to set.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 day for maximum freshness.
