Popcorn popped in a pot over a campfire or camp stove, then tossed with your favorite seasoning.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons oil (coconut oil, vegetable oil, or ghee)
  • 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
  • Seasoning to taste: salt and cracked pepper; cinnamon and sugar; Parmesan and garlic powder; powdered cheddar or nutritional yeast; ranch, taco or another spice blend

Directions

  • Put the oil and three kernels in a metal pot with a lid over medium heat on a camp stove or campfire grate.
  • When all three kernels pop, take the pot off the heat, add the rest of the kernels, shake to coat, cover, and put it back on the heat.
  • When the popping starts, tip the lid open a crack to let steam out, and shake the pot gently now and then.
  • When the pops slow to a second or two apart, take it off the heat, pour the popcorn into a large bowl, and season it.

Notes

Pack the kernels, oil, and a small jar of your favorite seasoning together for the trip. The pot and oil get very hot, so keep children back. Popcorn is a choking hazard for children under 4.
