Keto popcorn is a low-carb alternative to traditional popcorn, which is typically high in carbohydrates. Instead of using corn kernels, you'll use a different base to create a keto-friendly snack. Here's a simple recipe for making keto popcorn:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of coconut flakes (unsweetened)

• 1/2 cup of almonds (sliced or slivered)

• 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese (finely grated)

• 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese (grated)

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted coconut oil

• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

• In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flakes and sliced almonds. These will be the main components of your keto popcorn.

• In a separate small bowl, mix together the grated cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your seasoning mixture.

• Drizzle the olive oil or melted coconut oil over the coconut flakes and almonds. Toss them together until they're well-coated with the oil.

• Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the coconut and almond mixture. Make sure to evenly distribute the seasonings.

• Spread the coated coconut flakes and almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure that they're not too crowded to allow for even baking.

• Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the coconut and almonds turn golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, as the baking time may vary.

• Remove the keto popcorn from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.

• Once it has cooled slightly, you can break it into smaller pieces if desired, resembling popcorn.

Serve your keto popcorn as a crunchy, savory snack!

Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste preferences, and you can experiment with different spices and herbs to create unique flavors. This keto-friendly popcorn alternative is a great way to satisfy your cravings for a crunchy snack without the high carbohydrate content of traditional popcorn. Enjoy!
