Bump! I love popcorn0

My son and I love popcorn. I pop my own on the stove with smart balance w/ flax light butter. Just melt a tablespoon or two depending on how much you are making put the kernels in, lid on and shake until its done popping, then season with garlic and seasoning salt. Its delish!0

WOW! thanks for all the ideas. My main issue was getting stuff to stick to the corn - I've used sea salt but most of it ended in the bottom of the bowl I expect I can get the "I can't believe its not butter" spray over here - many of the other suggestions are just not available in the UK (booo!). I love parmesan, but I was concerned about adding too many calories. 0 fat and 0 calories added are what I'm aiming for:bigsmile: Off to check my Ocado order........0

If you're in the UK, then the very nicest thing you can put on popcorn is Marmite. Mmm mmm. It's a bit of a faff because the best way to do it is to put your popped corn out of the microwave into a big non-stick pan with the marmite and toss it around. But so delicious.0

look at making the chex mix "dressing" less the butter.
1 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt or butter flavored seasoning. (ie land o lakes)
4 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
I liked it. But take it to work? never tried that.0 -
I've put some of the yeast stuff recommended onto my shoppng order. I love marmite but couldn't see how to spread it around the popcorn:bigsmile:0

nori/seaweed flakes. You can get them in Asian markets or sometimes Whole Foods.
Adds nutrition, almost no calories, and it's delicious. Nori is the sheet of seaweed that goes on sushi rolls.
I absolutely can't wait to try this! We always have furikake in the house (husband is asian), but never thought of putting it on popcorn!
Is it time for snack yet?0 -
Smoked spicy paprika - yum!0

Frank's hot sauce on air popped popcorn is one of my favorite snacks!0

Get a olive oil spritzer and fill it up with an infused flavor olive oil of your choice it works freaking great.
One spray usually is about 1/4 tsp of oil.0 -
I know this sounds really weird but I like to use a little bit of olive oil cooking spray and Nutritional food yeast (Big flakes) It is pretty tasty and I have the added delight of knowing I'm getting B vitamins0

Just remember that because butter is a fat, that doesn't mean it is unhealthy. There is a large difference between healthy and unhealthy fats. I love popcorn, eat it just about every night, probably shouldn't eat it quite that often but I eat it in moderation. I pop 1/4 cup of kernels in either canola (i know that this isn't real healthy) or olive oil. I put salt and butter on it. That amount of popcorn usually lasts 3-5 nights (my wife doesn't partake in it with me). I figure that a little bit of butter and salt spread out over a few days is not that unhealthy for me.
Does anyone agree or disagree with me? Because I am no nutritional expert.0 -
I sprinkle chili powder and sea salt and spritz lime juice.0
-
i use rosemary and salt but they actually have different flavored shakers you can buy for popcorn and they have no calories: bufallo, white cheddar and salt and vinegar are theones I have.0
-
oh, love the chili powder, sea salt, lime juice idea! Thanks!0
-
I like spicy...so chili powder! But really, experiment with spices that you know you like. Curry might be a good one too if you like curry.0
-
I use hot sauce. Just don't put TOO much on. I've made that mistake many times before.0
