Tasty Chili Lime Popcorn With Coconut Oil

This crave-worthy Chili & Lime Popcorn in Coconut Oil is a fun and different spin that leaves butter out of the equation.

Why You’ll Love This Chili & Lime Popcorn

The flavors of chili and lime put a completely different spin on popcorn as we know it. It’s refreshing, tangy, a little punchy, and incredibly addicting.

We’ve also replaced the usual butter for coconut oil, which offers a faint but welcomed tropical flavor pairing beautifully with the lime.

Ingredients

• Plain popcorn kernels
• Organic, unrefined, cold-pressed coconut oil
• Chili powder
• Lime
• Sea salt

How to Make Chili & Lime Popcorn

1. Pop the popcorn in a large pot as per the directions on the packaging, but replace the recommended butter or oil with coconut oil.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the remainder of the coconut oil (2 TBSP) over medium-low heat.
3. Add the chili powder to the coconut oil, followed by lime juice, and whisk until well mixed. Bring it to a low simmer, then remove the saucepan from the heat and set it aside.
4. When the popcorn is ready, drizzle the coconut oil from the saucepan over the popcorn; cover the pot and give it a good toss to evenly coat the popcorn.
5. Serve in a bowl; hit the popcorn with an extra spritz of lime juice and some lime zest.
