For the glaze

½ cup maple syrup
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp fresh orange zest (from about 1 large orange)
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 ½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp fine salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Pop the popcorn kernels: heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 2–3 test kernels, cover, and wait until they pop. Add the remaining kernels in a single layer, cover, and shake the pot gently every 30 seconds until the popping slows to 2–3 seconds between pops. Transfer the popped corn to a large mixing bowl, discarding any unpopped kernels. You should have about 9–10 cups of popped corn.
