It’s almost the weekend and the last few long summer nights call for Netflix binging and movies on the couch. Right?! So I put together 5 easy ways to make popcorn (they’re all savory popcorn recipes) for healthy(ish) snacking for movie nights
There’s a recipe for rosemary thyme black pepper popcorn, a spicy chili lime popcorn, coconut turmeric saffron popcorn, and more! Click through to grab all five recipes.
Popcorn Recipe #1: Rosemary Thyme Black Pepper Popcorn
- 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, coarsely chopped
- 1 sprig of fresh thyme, coarsely chopped
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil to coat popcorn
- 8-10 cups popped popcorn
In a large bowl add just popped popcorn (while it’s still warm) and olive oil. Mix until well-coated. Gently fold in salt, pepper, and herbs. Add a touch more olive oil if the herbs aren’t sticking well.
*If using bagged popcorn that is not warm, follow the instructions above, then place seasoned popcorn on baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes at 250ºF.
Popcorn Recipe #2: Spicy Sriracha Popcorn
- 1-2 tbsp sriracha sauce (you can add more or less depending on how spicy you like it)
- sea salt
- 8-10 cups popped popcorn
In a large bowl add just popped popcorn (while it’s still warm) and sea salt – no additional oils needed. Adding a few drops of sauce at a time, gently mix popcorn in the Sriracha until it is lightly coated. If you add too much at the same time, your popcorn will get soggy.
*If using bagged popcorn that is not warm, follow the instructions above, then place seasoned popcorn on baking sheet and bake for 5-6 minutes at 250ºF.
Popcorn Recipe #3: Spicy Chili Lime Popcorn
- 1-2 tbsp chili lime seasoning (I love the one from Trader Joe’s)
- 1 tsp red chili pepper flakes (you can add more for extra spice)
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 8-10 cups popped popcorn
In a large bowl add just popped popcorn (while it’s still warm) and olive oil. Mix until well-coated. Sprinkle in seasonings and gently stir until spread throughout.
*If using bagged popcorn that is not warm, follow the instructions above, then place seasoned popcorn on baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes at 250ºF.
Popcorn Recipe #4: Coconut Turmeric Saffron Popcorn
- 2 tsp turmeric
- 1-2 pinches of saffron (I crumbled up the strands slightly for easier distribution)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted (you can also use coconut oil cooking spray)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 8-10 cups popped popcorn
In a large bowl add just popped popcorn (while it’s still warm), coconut oil and sea salt. Sprinkle in turmeric and saffron and gently stir until blended.
*If using bagged popcorn that is not warm, follow the instructions above, then place seasoned popcorn on baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes at 250ºF.
Popcorn Recipe #5: Everything Bagel Garlic Popcorn
- 1 tbsp Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 8-10 cups popped popcorn
In a large bowl add just popped popcorn (while it’s still warm), olive oil and sea salt. Sprinkle in Everything bagel seasoning.
*If using bagged popcorn that is not warm, follow the instructions above, then place seasoned popcorn on baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes at 250ºF.
