Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or canola oil
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (to make vegan, use a nondairy buttery spread)
- Zest of 1 small lime
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast* optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, salt, cumin, oregano, and cayenne. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Once hot and shimmering, add the popcorn kernels. Shake and shift the pan so that the kernels are in a flat, even layer.
- Cover the pan and let the kernels cook until the time between pops is 3 to 4 seconds, shaking the pan every 20 seconds or so to keep the kernels from burning. The popcorn should cook in about 3 minutes.
- Uncover the popcorn and pour into a serving bowl. Immediately drizzle with the melted butter, then sprinkle with the spice mixture, lime zest, and nutritional yeast. Toss to combine. Taste and add additional salt as desired.
Notes
- *Nutritional yeast can be found in the health food section of many grocery stores or online. In addition to offering a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and protein, nutritional yeast adds a lightly salty, “cheesy” flavor to dishes. If you prefer not to purchase it, you can simply omit it or swap finely grated Parmesan cheese.
- TO STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
