We’re Obsessed with These Flavoured Popcorns You Can Make at Home

You can’t mess with buttered popcorn served in an old-fashioned cardboard carton. But you can play with seasonings to create the perfect at-home snack for you and any little ones in the vicinity. You don’t need a specialised popcorn maker to pop your kernels (though it can’t hurt!). For most, a stovetop will do the job just fine.

1. Curried popcorn

In a few tablespoons of melted butter, stir in curry powder, salt and a little sugar. Immediately pour the mixture over the popcorn and shake to coat.

2. Salt and vinegar

This is a classic combo you can master in minutes. Pop white vinegar and sea salt into a spray bottle and spray over cooked popcorn. As a variation, try it with white balsamic vinegar.

3. Italian flair

In a pan, melt a few tablespoons of melted butter. Stir in grated parmesan and chopped rosemary. Immediately pour the flavoured butter over the popcorn.

4. A touch of luxe

Feeling spesh? Toss a little truffle oil and finely grated parmesan into a batch of freshly popped kernels.

5. Sriracha corn

In a bowl, whisk a few tablespoons of melted butter, Sriracha and lime (zest and juice). Pour over the popcorn and toss vigorously to coat.

6. Just for kids

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon and a little salt. Drizzle the popcorn with melted butter and mix to coat. Then sprinkle over the cinnamon mixture and toss well to combine.

7. Wasabi blast

This one’s for the adults! In a small bowl, combine wasabi powder, ginger powder, soy sauce and sea salt. Melt a little coconut oil and pour it over the popcorn. Immediately sprinkle over the wasabi mixture and toss to coat.
