Popcorn ideas?


Quote  |  Reply

I make my own popcorn but it tastes of nothing by itself.

Does anyone know any tasty low cal flavours i can put on my popcorn?

my personal fav. is to sprinkle generous amounts of old bay seasoning on it...

i have also heard cinamon/sugar is good to... or chilli powder and garlic powder...

 

Thanks :)

I'll try those.

There are usually a few seasonings next to the popcorn kernels in the stores.

I melt a little butter or marg and ad tobasco sauce.

also powder cheese is good

I love to make airpopped corn and as it comes out of the popper, I spray it with butter-flavored cooking spray...like Pam.  Olive oil spray actually tastes good, too.  Then I just shake a bunch of salt on top, the spray causes some of it to stickSmile, and I just love it for a crunchy salty, tasty snack. 

Enjoy!

I like to sprinkle on nutritional yeast flakes and use a little olive oil to make them stick.  This gives the popcorn a cheesy/nutty flavor. mmm

My sister uses the salad dressing that comes in the spray bottle to add flavor to her popcorn but I haven't tried it myself. 

I don't really eat popcorn but here are some flavorings that I've heard most people tend to really like:

  • cocoa powder (with spray butter, if your calories allow it)
  • garlic powder
  • cinnamon sugar
  • spicy things, like cumin or old bay
  • hot sauce
Enjoy!

My Mom's old favorite is Taco Seasoning. Personally, I just buy the microwave popcorn in 100 calorie packs. Yes I know it's not as cheap, but it's not so expensive either.

I sprinkle lemon pepper on mine

garlic powder and parm cheese

Air popped popcorn + lemon juice sprayed on it + cinnamon = love

Air popped popcorn + tabasco = love

Air popped popcorn + teriyaki sauce + wasabi peas + rice crackers = love

Air popped popcorn + banana chips + dark chocolate + toasted coconut = love

Air popped popcorn + red licorice pieces + sugar (or splenda or whatever) = love

soy sauce, garlic powder and a pinch of curry powder

brewers yeast is good too with all of the above

yum!

Air popped popcorn + chili powder + tabasco + lemon juice= best popcorns!

For a sweet treat, I give it a few sprays of I can't believe it's not butter and then sprinkle it with cinnamon and splenda. Yum.

For a salty treat, I use the spray, and then throw on pico de gallo seasoning (chile and lemon flavor), or grated parmesan. Equally yum.

Enjoy trying all these combinations people have shared!

I take a fry pan with a cover put some oil in the bottom and heat it then I add 1/4 teaaspoon margarine some hot pepper powder and some hot sause throw in my kernals and coat them in the hot oil then I turn the heat all the way up cover shake constantly and pop  add salt at the last minute
