Matcha PopCorn

Elevate your snack game with our Matcha Popcorn, a delightful fusion of crunchy popcorn kernels coated in vibrant matcha powder and a hint of sweetness. Perfect for movie nights or any occasion, this unique treat is sure to impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tablespoon culinary grade matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • Optional: sea salt, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Pop the Popcorn: In a large pot with a lid, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover with the lid. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Once the popping slows down, remove from heat and let the remaining kernels pop.
  2. Prepare the Matcha Powder: In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps. If necessary, you can also whisk the matcha to break up clumps.
  3. Coat the Popcorn: Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl. While the popcorn is still warm, sprinkle the matcha powder over the popcorn. Use a spoon or spatula to gently toss the popcorn until evenly coated with matcha.
  4. Add Sweetness (Optional): If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the matcha-coated popcorn and toss again to evenly distribute the sweetness. Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to suit your taste preferences.
  5. Season (Optional): For a sweet and salty flavor profile, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the popcorn and toss to combine.
  6. Serve: Enjoy your Matcha Popcorn immediately as a tasty snack or as a unique addition to your next movie night or gathering.

Tips:

  • Ensure the popcorn is warm when coating it with matcha powder to help the powder adhere better.
  • Experiment with different seasonings such as cinnamon, cocoa powder, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate for added flavor variations.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
