Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Instant pot glass lid

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup dried popcorn kernels make sure it is fresh
  • 1 ½ tablespoon extra virgin Coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Turn on the saute function of your instant pot and adjust settings to “more”, add coconut out and leave to melt until the IP becomes hot.
  • Add popcorn kernels and mix to combine so they are fully coated with the melted coconut oil
  • Cover the with a glass lid, it takes the kernel some few minutes to start popping so don’t worry if nothing happens after about 3 minutes. Once it starts popping, it takes about 3 minutes for the whole kernel to pop.
  • Once the popping starts slowing down, turn off the heat. You can give the pot a little shake in between but this is not necessary with the quantity of kernel used for this recipe.
  • Carefully remove the IP inner pot making sure you are protected and tip the popped popcorn into a bowl. Flavour as desired and Enjoy!

Notes

How to flavour popcorn
You can either go sweet or savoury.
Sweet Options: toffee, caramel, honey and cinnamon, sugar flavoured popcorn or just a drizzle of melted butter
Savoury flavouring Includes paprika , spicy and salty.
Tips
Glass lid: you would either use instant pot glass lid. This is an additional accessory you purchase separately when you buy your IP or use a fitting glass lid you have at home. I used one of the glass lid from my pots.
