Ingredients
  

For the Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Dill Weed Substitute with 1.5 tbsp fresh dill for enhanced freshness.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder No substitutions necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt Adjust saltiness to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper Use as desired.
For the Popcorn
  • 3 tablespoons Oil (Refined Coconut Oil preferred) Substitute with any neutral oil like canola or vegetable oil.
  • 1/2 cup Popcorn Kernels No substitutes needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Can substitute with clarified butter for less sogginess.
  • 2 tablespoons Dill Pickle Juice Omit if not available and increase butter to 4 tablespoons.

Equipment

  • heavy-bottomed pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the dried dill weed, garlic powder, fine sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until evenly distributed.
  2. Pour the refined coconut oil into a heavy-bottomed pot and add three test popcorn kernels. Cover with a lid and wait until the test kernels pop.
  3. Once the test kernels have popped, quickly add the rest of the popcorn kernels, cover, and remove from heat for 20 seconds.
  4. Return to heat and gently shake back and forth as the kernels pop. Keep the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
  5. When popping has slowed, remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Drizzle with melted butter and dill pickle juice, then sprinkle with the seasoning blend. Toss to coat.
  6. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
