Healthy Microwave Popcorn with Coconut Oil

This easy, healthy popcorn has just enough salt and coconut oil to add flavor without too many added calories. No bags, no chemicals, no mess.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (may reduce or omit)
  • 1/3 cup popcorn kernels

Directions
Supplies needed:
--2.5 to 3 quart microwave-proof bowl. If glass, should be tempered and have a high-heat tolerance.
--Vented lid for bowl.

Directions:
Put coconut oil and salt in bowl. Microwave just until oil is melted, 20-30 seconds. Pour popcorn kernels into bowl; stir to coat each kernel with oil/salt mixture. Even out kernels in bottom of bowl. Put vented cover on top and microwave on high for approx. 3-5 minutes, when there are 1-2 second between pops. Microwave times will vary.

Caution: Bowl will get hot; use hot pads or oven mitts.

2-cup portion is approx. 73 calories (3 Weight Watchers PointsPlus)
