This
sweet and crunchy treat is the perfect appetizer or snack to share with
friends.
1/4 cup refined coconut oil or other high-heat oil
1/4 cup
popcorn kernels
3/4 cup vegan butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp.
baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
•
Preheat the oven to 250ºF, using convection mode if you have it.
• Pour the
coconut oil in a large pot, add one popcorn kernel, and cover. Once the kernel
pops, immediately add the rest of the kernels. Keep heating until there is 2
seconds between pops. Transfer to a 9-inch-by-13-inch or larger cake pan or
glass casserole dish.
• In a small pan, melt the vegan butter and add the
brown sugar. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring continuously, until the
mixture bubbles and rises a little bit, about 3 minutes.
• Add the baking
soda, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir to incorporate, then pour over the
popcorn. Stir to coat. Bake for 1 hour, stirring once halfway
through.
*Makes about 8 cups
