Easy Blackstone Popcorn Recipe
Description
Make the best homemade popcorn right on your Blackstone griddle! This easy Blackstone popcorn recipe gives you buttery, salty, perfectly crisp popcorn in 15 minutes—a fun, no-microwave snack for movie night, game day, or camping.
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup popcorn kernels, unpopped
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil, avocado, canola, or vegetable
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Blackstone to high heat (about 500°F) for 5–10 minutes—the griddle needs to be hot. Melt the butter in a small saucepan or foil tray on a cooler corner of the griddle.
- In a small bowl, toss the popcorn kernels with the cooking oil until evenly coated. (Leave the butter and salt for the end.)
- Spread the oiled kernels in a single, even layer on the hot griddle and immediately cover with a large metal bowl, griddle dome, or foil tent.
- Slide the dome around in a circular motion every few seconds so the kernels keep moving and don't scorch. Lift the cover slightly now and then to release steam.
- When the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, remove the cover and turn off the heat.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the hot popcorn, sprinkle with salt (and any other seasonings), and toss gently to coat. Transfer to a large bowl and serve.
Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Cooking Oil
Notes
- Use a high-smoke-point oil so it won't burn at griddle temperatures.
- Don't wait for popping to stop completely—pull it when pops slow to avoid scorching.
- An indoor electric griddle works too; keep kernels covered and moving.
