Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250 °F and line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large pot, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn and shake the pan to coat the kernels with oil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Wait for the popcorn to start popping, then shake the pan gently now and again to keep the kernels moving.
  2. When the popping slows to about 2 seconds apart, remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl, making sure to leave any unpopped kernels behind.

How to Make Maple Caramel

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup, and salt and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture come to a gentle boil. Stirring occasionally, boil the syrup over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla and mix well. ( The mixture will foam)
  2. Immediately and carefully pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn in addition, tossing gently as you go to coat well. Spread the Maple Caramel Popcorn into even layers on the prepared pans. Bake the Maple Caramel Popcorn for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely to crisp up. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
