How to Pop Popcorn Over a Campfire
Yes it’s really a thing, popping popcorn on a campfire. It’s easy to do. Impressive as heck. And the popcorn gets this smoky flavor from the, well, from the smoke. It’s crazy.
Ingredients
Instructions
Get an 18″ piece of heavy duty aluminium foil. Put 2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels in the middle of one half of the foil. Drizzle with 2 tablepsoons of oil (grape seed or vegetable oil).
Add a sprinkle of salt. Just a pinch or two.
Fold the foil over the popcorn and oil.
Crimp around the edges to make a packet. You want the crimp to go in by a couple of folds. But don’t go right to the popcorn kernels. They need room to pop and there has to be space for the popped kernels or else they can tear the foil.
At the top edge, make sure there’s several layers of foil in a wide band crimped together. This is because you’re going to poke your campfire fork through there and you want it to be nice and thick and sturdy so it doesn’t rip. You can make a bunch of these ahead of time so that they’re ready to take camping or to your backyard fire pit.
Poke the campfire fork through that thick band of foil you created at the top.
