Makes 11 cups popcorn

“Dorothy and her friends were at first dazzled by the brilliancy of the wonderful City. The
streets were lined with beautiful houses all built of green marble and studded everywhere
with sparkling emeralds.”

This popcorn mix inspired by the Emerald City features green-tinted popcorn kernels and
wasabi peas to represent the green of Oz’s magnificent city and yellow-tinted popcorn
kernels to represent the yellow brick road that leads there.

INGREDIENTS

5 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
⅓ cup popcorn kernels

1½ teaspoons turmeric

½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup pea crisps, crushed

½ teaspoon matcha powder, optional (for added color)

1 cup wasabi peas

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Melt 3 tablespoons coconut oil in a small bowl in the microwave
and set aside.

2 Add remaining coconut oil to a large saucepan with high sides and
place over medium-high heat. Add 3 popcorn kernels and partially

cover with lid. When all three kernels have popped, quickly pour in

all the remaining kernels in a single layer. Remove from heat for 30
seconds. Partially re-cover and place over medium-high heat,

shaking gently until most of the kernels have popped and the

popping sound has reduced to 1 pop every 5 seconds. Transfer
immediately to a large bowl. Add reserved coconut oil and salt and

toss until well combined.
