Popcorn is actually a whole grain and one of the healthiest salty snacks you can indulge in. But it can taste a little plain, especially when you compare it to delicious chips and cheese balls. But there are definitely many ways you can make popcorn more exciting. Here are some examples.
Make Some Popcorn Seasoning
If you want to give your popcorn a blast of flavor, why not create your own customized popcorn seasoning mix? You can use whatever spices you like, but these recipes from Live Eat Learn can give you a jumping-off point. They include recipes for ranch seasoning, Dorito seasoning, taco seasoning, and curry seasoning, and many others.
Drizzle a Sauce Over the Popcorn
Another way to dress up popcorn is to change up the texture by drizzling something kind of creamy over it. You could use Nutella, peanut butter, chocolate sauce, brown butter, honey, and even the cheese sauce you make with the little packets that come with boxed mac and cheese.
Flavor Your Oil
If you’re popping your own raw popcorn kernels, you can step it up a notch by popping them in flavorful oil. You can do garlic-infused olive oil, bacon fat, brown butter—whatever you like!
