Healthy & Delicious Stovetop Popcorn

For years, I was stuck with the idea that the only way to enjoy a warm bowl of popcorn was microwaved popcorn or the retro aluminum pan popcorn that would expand on the stove when heated. Neither, however, is a healthy option and neither is as fun as this stovetop method!

If you are looking for a warm, yummy snack that is fun to make, try this 3 ingredient stovetop popcorn your whole family will enjoy

Add olive oil to a pot with a clear lid that has no holes

Add 4 kernels, cover, and turn heat to medium high. Shake often for about 3 minutes or until one or two kernels pop

Add remaining popcorn kernels and shake well every 30 seconds. Watch and enjoy all the popping!!

Once the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops, turn off heat and lift lid to release steam. Add salt to taste and give pot one more good shake to get salt on every bite

Enjoy right away or store in an air-tight container for up to one week
