4 servings
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 oz freeze-dried pineapple (about 1 cup loosely packed)
- 2 tsp lime zest (from about 2 limes)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp chili powder (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pulse the freeze-dried pineapple in a spice grinder or small food processor until it becomes a fine, dusty powder with no large chunks remaining. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the lime zest and fine sea salt (and chili powder, if using). Set aside.

Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 popcorn kernels, cover with the lid, and wait until all 3 kernels pop — this signals the oil is hot enough. Add the remaining kernels in a single layer, cover, and shake the pot gently every 15–20 seconds. Cook until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, then immediately remove from heat.
