Servings 7 cups
Equipment
- 1 large stock pot
Ingredients
For Popping the Popcorn
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup popcorn kernals
Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Low FODMAP hot sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Seasoning
- In a small bowl, mix the dried dill, sea salt and cumin. Set aside.
- Melt the butter either in the microwave or in a small pot over the stove. Add in the garlic-infused olive oil and hot sauce and stir with a whisk to ensure the ingredients are evenly distrubted. Set aside.
Pop the Popcorn
- Heat a stock pot over medium with 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil and 2 individual kernals. Cover with lid and wait for the kernals to pop (will take a couple of minutes).
- When the kernals pop, pour in the remaining kernals and cover with lid. Wearing oven mitts to secure the lid, shake the stock pot slightly back and forth to ensure the kernals are distributed evenly and coated in oil. Return pot to stove.
- Kernals will start to pop. Shake the pot with oven mitts every couple of minutes to make sure the popcorn is distributed evenly and no kernals burn. Continue to cook the popcorn until the popping slows to one kernal per every few seconds.
Assemble
- Pour the melted butter combination over the popcorn. With oven mitts, secure the stock pot lid while you shake the stock pot to distribute the butter mixture into the popcorn. Then repeat the process with the spice mixture. Pour into a large bowl and serve immediately
Notes
- If using store-bought garlic-infused oil that is not certified FODMAP-friendly, make sure to use a brand that doesn’t list “garlic oil,” “garlic essential oil,” “garlic essence,” “garlic flavoring,” “natural roasted garlic flavor,” or anything similar in the ingredients list. There’s no way to know whether these ingredients are low FODMAP. More on that in this article on FODMAP Everyday.
