Most people love this snack because it fulfills lots of cravings: crunchy, sweet and salty, however this recipe is pretty healthy. And it’s cheap: it probably costs $.50 for a bowl that can feed my whole family. You can use a popcorn popper or brown paper bag approach for freshly popped popcorn.
Ingredients:
Brown paper bag
½ cup popping corn kernels
½ cup Almonds
Agave nectar
Cinnamon
Sea salt
Directions:
1. Microwave: Pour ½ cup popping corn kernels into a brown paper bag (lunch bag). Fold the bag over twice (do not use staples or safety pins). Place the bag on its side in your microwave. Cook on high for 2 ½ – 3 minutes. This varies, depending on your microwave. Do not leave the bag unattended and stop the microwave when the pops are 2-3 seconds apart.
2. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and add some almonds
3. Drizzle on agave nectar, approximately 1 tsp
4. Sprinkle on desired amount of cinnamon (I like a lot)
5. Sprinkle on sea salt
6. Toss popcorn in the bowl. Add a little more nectar, cinnamon, and salt and re-toss for well flavored popcorn.
Makes approximately 2 servings
