Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt plus more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pop the popcorn according to your air popper manufacturer's instructions, collecting it in a large bowl.
  • While the popcorn is still hot, drizzle with 2 tsp oil and sprinkle with ⅓ tsp salt. Toss well.
  • Repeat twice more with the remaining oil and salt, tossing after each addition.
  • Taste and add more salt if desired. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Ash's Tips

  • Season immediately. Popcorn starts to lose its fresh, crisp texture within a minute or two of popping, so drizzle on the oil and sprinkle the salt as soon as it's ready.
  • Season a little at a time. Drizzle on about one-third of the oil and sprinkle on one-third of the salt, then toss. Repeat twice more so every piece is evenly coated and perfectly seasoned.
