Preparation

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add one or two kernels of popcorn once the oil begins to shimmer. When they burst open, add in ¼ cup popcorn kernels. Cover the pot, keeping the lid slightly cracked, and shake, coating the kernels with oil. Continue to shake until all the kernels are popped

Once the kernels are all popped, remove the pot from the heat. Drizzle in another tablespoon of melted coconut oil and 1 to 2 tablespoons agave syrup. Add ⅓ cup toasted coconut flakes, ¼ cup toasted sesame seeds, and a pinch of flaky sea salt. If you’re feeling feisty, add a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper.
