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 2–3 seconds between pops. Remove from heat immediately and transfer the popped corn to a large mixing bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels.
