Popcorn seasoning ideas

P.S. Sriracha salt sounds like a brilliant idea that would totally eliminate sogginess.

Sadassa Ulna, ditto what Wannabe Baker said about application of Buffalo sauce for sriracha, though I'd be lying if I said I never just shook the bottle over the bowl of popcorn and then mixed it up. A few kernels do get a bit soggy that way, but there's not enough sriracha to really douse it.

Try Nutritional Yeast. It's AMAZING. I always cover my popcorn with it, it gives it an awesome cheesy/butter flavor, and is totally vegan - if that's how you roll. It's also a great source of all the B vitamins, including B12. 1 tbsp is the daily intake for an adult! And no additional salt or fat. It's a great if you're looking for a healthy savory topping.

I usually get it at health stores. I can't say enough about it! Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

JALAPENO POPCORN. A fire house favorite that we make quite often at all of the stations in my department. melt 1/2-1 stick of butter in a small sauce pan. Add 2-4 jalapenos seeded and minced the saute till soft and fragrant. Once your popcorn is all popped add the jalapeno butter and salt to taste. You may adjust the amount of jalapenos and butter depending on the amount of popcorn and the desired level of heat you prefer although its not too spicy after sauteing the peppers in the butter.

I recent made JALAPENO CARAMEL CORN . Sweet, savory, spicy and fantastic. my new favorite. Its done basically the same but you begin with sugar and less butter then add the jalapenos.

Well, with the buffalo sauce, I've found it works best if you pour it in the bowl first, before the popcorn, and then tilt the bowl to coat the bottom and some of the sides with it. I then pour in the popcorn and use a spoon to mix it. This way none of the popcron gets doused in it and it's more evenly dispersed.

Thanks for the other ideas! The lime salt sounds interesting, although I have to admit - that sounds like a lot of work!

I pop the kernels in half toasted sesame oil and half canola, then sprinkle with Old Bay or other tasty blend. Question: how does one use sriracha, buffalo sauce or other wet ingredients?

Old Bay Seasoning, pulverize some cheddar & sprinkle on. My favorite is minced bacon and brown sugar & chili powder - sweet & savory!

My favorite calls for a special item. "True Lime Powder". Google it and look for store locations.

I put a Tablespoon of salt in a coffee grinder and grind that to dust.
Then take it out and add: 4 packets of the 'true lime' powder, a tsp of ginger powder, a tsp of paprika, 1/2 of garlic powder, 1/4 tsp of white pepper, 1/4 tsp of cyan pepper. (more or less for heat taste) ...then spray oil the popcorn and shake that up in a bag.

I guess you could use a table spoon of lime zest and dry in the oven and grind that with the salt.

To clean the coffee grinder---use a tsp of baking soda and table spoon of raw rice and grind...rinse and repeat...and it should be fine again for coffee. (YMMV depending on your grinder materials).

Truffle oil and Parmesan - luxury popcorn

I love sriracha on popcorn. Similar to your buffalo wing sauce idea, but a little sweeter.

Parmesan and basil. The parm gives it a nice salt and the basil gets slightly fried in the butter.
