What’s your snack personality? If it’s crunchy, spicy, salty and buttery, then I’ve got your new favorite right here – Spicy sriracha popcorn! It’s also really easy to make, and get this, has only four ingredients. Is it snack time yet?
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels (I like using white popcorn kernels for this recipe)
- 3 tablespoons salted butter (not margarine), or to taste
- popcorn salt (very fine), to taste, approximately 1/4 teaspoon
- sriracha seasoning powder (very spicy), to taste, approximately 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Add 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels to your air popper (follow the instruction manual for your machine)
- Turn on the air popper and place a large mixing bowl under the spout to catch the popped corn. Stay close to the machine, once it starts popping it goes quickly! Turn the machine off before it’s completely done, leave the lid on for an additional 20-30 seconds to allow additional kernels to pop. Pour all the popcorn into the bowl.
- Add 3 tablespoons of salted butter to a microwave safe container. I like to use a small glass measuring cup. Microwave for 45 seconds or so until completely melted, bubbly and hot.
- Once the popcorn is finished, pour about 1/3 of the melted butter on top, sprinkle with a little popcorn salt and sriracha seasoning. Give the bowl a toss to distribute. Do this two more times so the butter and seasoning are well distributed throughout the popcorn.
- Start snacking! Warning: once you start, you won’t be able to stop.
Notes
- I prefer air popped popcorn for this recipe, but you can use any kind you like.
- Follow the directions for your air popper.
- Never leave the air popper unattended when it’s on.
