Salted popcorn is a popular movie snack, but it can be a little bland on its own. If you’re looking for a way to add some extra flavour to your popcorn, there are a few easy things you can do. With a little creativity, you can take your popcorn from ordinary to extraordinary! Here are some ways to add flavour to salted popcorn.
Start with good quality popcorn kernels – the fresher, the better
If movie nights and popcorn go hand-in-hand for you, the key to really delicious popcorn is starting with good quality kernels. While it’s tempting to go for the pre-made Popcorn bags from the store, starting from scratch can make all the difference, since good quality kernels will be much fresher than anything already pre-packaged.
Check your local grocery store for unprocessed popcorn kernels, which will often be stored in bulk bins – or consider popping your popcorn with coconut oil or butter to get that classic crunchy, comforting taste. With a little extra effort and fresh ingredients, your homemade popcorn will have everyone asking where you bought it!
Cook the popcorn in a hot air popper or on the stovetop with a little oil
Making homemade popcorn is so simple, yet so rewarding! For the perfectly crunchy and fluffy kernels, a hot air popper or stovetop popping with just a bit of oil are two great options. Hot air poppers are easy to use, as no additional oil or butter is needed – just pour your kernels in, switch it on, and wait for that heavenly smell of freshly-popped snacks to fill your kitchen! Stovetop popcorn also gives you control over how much oil you add, allowing you to customize the flavor without making it overly greasy. The added flavor that a little bit of oil brings can really take your homemade popcorn to the next level.
Add your favourite spices and herbs to the cooked popcorn for extra flavour
If you’ve been looking for a tasty and healthy snack idea, then consider spicing up your popcorn! Adding some of your favorite spices and herbs to the cooked popcorn will give it an extra kick of flavour and make it far more exciting than plain salted popcorn. Plus, there are so many different options you can choose from—including dried parsley, oregano, chili flakes and cumin—it’s easy to create a flavour profile that everyone can agree on! Even better, these extra touches won’t add too much time or effort to your preparation process. So why not give it a go next time you feel like snacking?
