Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the popcorn kernels, cover with the lid, and cook, shaking the pot every 30 seconds, until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops. Remove from heat immediately and transfer the popped corn to a large mixing bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels.
