Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn
Liven up your movie night popcorn! For variety, try with Lime and Chili Popcorn and Garlic, Herb and Parmesan Popcorn.
Ingredients
- Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
- 8 slices bacon, rendered and chopped, bacon fat reserved
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
Preparation
In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat a drizzle of EVOO and the bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn. When the EVOO sizzles, sprinkle the sugar over the kernels. Cover and shake the pan until the popping slows down, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and toss with the salt.
Top with crispy bacon bits and serve.
