I could eat it every day. Thankfully my girls and out huge dog feel the same way, so I pretend like they want me to make a big bowl (when really I planted the idea in their head) and then I scoop them little bowls full and I take the rest. Mason is relegated to cleaning stray pieces from the ground.
And I am just a good old fashioned oil and salt girl most of the time. But sometimes I like to mix it up. Or get totally concession trailer C-R-A-Z-Y. with sweet varieties . Today I am sharing my new favorite savory way to enjoy it. It s amazing. Despite the fact that Coco should not have liked it (I mean, it was spicy, there were weird pumpkin seeds involved, etc) She still helped me demolish almost this whole batch.
I am aware that there is decent amount of olive oil and butter involved here. But I am telling you- the flavor and texture here is out of this world as far as snacky stuff goes. I imagine that I will pop up a big bowl for sluggish Sunday concession trailer afternoons spent on the couch, but that it would also be great as an alternative snack mix for parties. Or I could just eat this for dinner .
Ingredients - cup olive oil -1/2 cup popping corn -4 Tbs butter -1 cup salted, roasted pumpkin seeds -1 cups sharp white cheddar cheese, finely shredded -2 teaspoons poppy seeds - teaspoon onion powder - teaspoon cayenne pepper -Kosher salt to taste
Instructions 1. Prepare all of your ingredients. 2. In a large heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Pop the corn until no kernels are left to pop, about 2-3 minutes. 3. While your popcorn is popping, melt the butter in a small pan. When the popcorn is done, remove from the heat and drizzle the butter over the popcorn and then toss to coat. 4. Add everything concession trailer else to the popcorn and gently toss the popcorn to evenly coat it with the rest of the ingredients. Season to taste with Kosher salt. Serve immediately. Preparation time: 5 minute(s)

Now that is a PERFECT puffy bag of tasty popcorn!! Must try
I had to read, “my husband doesn’t like popcorn” like, three times. I still don’t understand those words. Except that my husband doesn’t like avocados or berries. WT?? Seriously. I’m obsessed with popcorn too, lately it’s been chili-garlic.
Hi Julie- I just used plain old extra virgin olive oil for this. For salad dressing, I prefer Light olive oil!
Hey Marina. It won’t be as good if it is sitting all day and I would worry a little bit about the cheese sitting out all day long too. Would it be possible to get all of the ingredients together that you would use for this pre-measured and then just pop the corn at the last minute? That will only take 5 minutes…
