Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons coconut oil
-
½ cup unpopped popcorn
-
salt to taste
Directions
-
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. When the display indicates the pot is hot, add coconut oil and let it melt.
-
Add popcorn and stir with a rubber spatula until kernels are coated. Wait 30 seconds and stir again; kernels should be making a sizzling sound at this point. Cover pot with the glass lid and cook for 5 minutes. Cancel Sauté mode and let sit until kernels have completely stopped popping, about 1 minute.
-
Transfer popcorn to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt.
Cook’s Note
Plan on more unpopped kernels than you would cooking on the stove because you cannot shake the Instant Pot around on the heat source like you would a pot on the stove burner. While there is more waste, popcorn is cheap, and having no oil splatter is worth it to me.
I listed salt as a generic seasoning, but feel free to experiment with flavors such as powdered cheese, ranch powder, Frank's Red Hot seasoning, etc.
