Ingredients

  • 1 Cup yellow popcorn kernels
  • ⅓ Cup olive oil
  • 2 TBSP salt
  • ¼ Cup white sugar
  • ¼ Cup brown sugar
  • 30 Sprays of extra olive oil from an olive spray bottle or spray olive oil to your liking

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together: salt, white sugar and brown sugar. Set aside. 
  2. Heat a wok over medium heat, add your ⅓ cup olive oil. Swirl around the pan and heat for 30 seconds - 1 minute. 
  3. Once oil is heated, add your 1 cup yellow popcorn kernels. Swirl around to coat all of the kernels in the oil.
  4. Place a lid on top of your wok and bring heat to medium low. Keep an eye on it and lift the lid every so often to let the steam out. The kernels should be starting to pop at this point. 
  5. Once they begin popping, keep the lid on and let them pop for 3-5 minutes. As they begin to rise and less oil is splattering, you can lift the lid to release some steam. 
  6. Let the popcorn pop until the popping slows down or completely stops. 
  7. Remove the lid and remove the wok from heat. 
  8. Spray the popcorn with about 10 sprays of olive oil from your olive oil bottle. Mix well. Dust the popcorn with 1 TBSP of your kettle corn mixture. Mix well again. Repeat the process 2 more times until you’ve added about 3 TBSP of your kettle seasoning. 
  9. Serve right away and store any leftovers in an airtight container for upto a week. 
  10. ENJOY!
