Time 15m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons black mustard seeds

Steps:

In a large pot over medium heat, toast the coconut flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt until the coconut is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pot and stir in the popcorn and cover pot. After a few minutes, the popcorn will begin to pop vigorously. When the popping begins to slow and several seconds pass between pops, pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and mustard seeds. Toast seeds until they begin to pop, about 2 minutes.
Season the popcorn with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; sprinkle with coconut flakes and the mustard seed oil and seeds. Toss gently to combine.
