Description
Spice up your typical salt and butter popcorn with these three homemade popcorn seasonings!
Ingredients
Scale
For the Base
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive, coconut, or avocado oil
Seasoning #1: Cinnamon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt to taste
Seasoning #2: Chocolate Coconut
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips melted (I use the Enjoy Life chocolate chips that can be found at most grocery stores)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
- Salt to taste
Seasoning #3: Cheesy Garlic
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Pour oil into a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. The oil should cover the bottom of the pot.
- Wait a couple of minutes and then place one kernel in the center of the pot. If the kernel sizzles and bubbles form around it, then your oil is ready to pour all of the kernels into the pot.
- Place the lid on fully and give the kernels and the oil a little shake. Keep shaking the popcorn every 15-30 seconds until the popcorn begins to pop.
- Once you hear the first kernel pop, tip the lid just enough to allow steam to come out but not enough that kernels fly everywhere! This also is a good time to grab a bowl and place it near the stove in case the popcorn overflows.
- Continue cooking the popcorn until the popping begins to slow and then transfer the popcorn to a bowl.
- Select which of the three seasonings you are feeling for today and mix all the ingredients of the seasoning in a small bowl.
- Drizzle a little oil on the popcorn to lightly coat the outside of the popcorn. Add in seasoning mixture and toss for evenly coated popcorn.
- Light up the fireplace, turn on your favorite movie, and enjoy a movie night at home with your delicious homemade popcorn!
Notes
Some people love really salty popcorn while others prefer a little less salt. I used 1/2 teaspoon of salt in each seasoning, but feel free to add or subtract the amount of salt based on your taste buds!
