It’s that time of the year, the popcorn and movie nights season, and to make it just a little more special, you’ll want these 4 gourmet and homemade popcorn seasoning recipes.
Two of my homemade popcorn seasoning recipes are cheesy and savory, while the other two are sweet and creamy.
Read on for my Italian gourmet and homemade popcorn seasoning recipes:
- the olive oil and parmesan popcorn;
- the paprika and scamorza popcorn;
- the cinnamon, olive oil, and cocoa popcorn recipe;
- and the orange and condensed milk one.
If you need them, here are the instructions to cook perfect popcorn in the microwave or the stove, and my favorite tool!
how to cook popcorn
Corn is a whole grain, high in fiber and antioxidants. With very few calories.
If you want to pop those corns for your homemade popcorn seasoning recipes, you can opt between the microwave and the stove.
how to cook popcorn in a microwave
Place 2 big tablespoons of kernels into a brown bag, fold the bag twice, and microwave 2-3 minutes on HIGH.
how to pop popcorn on a stove
- Place a tablespoon of olive oil in a big pot, add 3 corn kernels and turn on the fire.
- Cover the pot and wait until the 3 kernels pop: it’s time to add all the others.
- Add enough kernels to cover the bottom of the pot.
- Every now and then, shake the pot.
- Wait until 10 seconds pass by one pop and the other.
- Ready!
the best stovetop popcorn popper
This tool changed my popping forever. It’s a Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper, it has a handle that you have to continuously spin, so every kernel gets the same amount of heat, and they all pop.
If you make a lot of popcorn and want to avoid the microwave, get yours on Amazon :-).
