- 3 tbs. coconut oil
- 3 tbs. maple syrup
- 3/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Pop the popcorn. I use this air popper , but any popping method will work.
- Place the solid coconut oil in a large roasting pan or on a cookie sheet that has sides. Put the pan in the oven until the oil melts.
- Remove the pan from the oven and add the maple syrup and spices. Stir to combine.
- Add the popped popcorn to the pan and stir so that the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, stirring every couple minutes. Once it starts to brown a little, it's done.
- Remove and cool on a wire rack.
