    I don't make air popped popcorn. I pop mine in a little peanut oil and Lawry's seasoned salt. Sometimes I add black pepper or ceyenne.

    Stove top for me with Olive Oil and salt. ~300 calories for a big bowl ( 60 g).

    Be careful with spray butters--they do have calories.

    That's how I do it too, although we usually add some black pepper, garlic salt, and parm cheese crumbles to it as well.

    Nutritional yeast flakes and a bit of salt. Two tbsp has about 60 cals, though it is full of B vitamins and has about 9 grams of complete protein and a some fibre as well. It tastes a little cheesy/nutty. Hard to describe, but I like it as a popcorn topping.



    I've heard this is pretty awesome.



    I like cracked black pepper/parm combo

    I put about 1.5 tbl of butter on a 16 cup bowl of popcorn (made for the whole family LOL). It's not that many calories when spread out among 5 people and tastes delicious.

    Try to find TrueLemon crystallized lemon, but not the one that comes in packets with sweetener. I love it on everything like potatoes, popcorn. I use it as salt substitute, or Cavenders salt free Greek Seasoning. The did Ranch dressing is good, too. Or learn to like the sweet flavor of air pop popcorn plain.

    A couple of teaspoons of melted butter. And a LOT of salt, but I crave salty foods!

    Paprika is amazing.
    A bit of cinnamon and sugar is delicious
    Nutritional Yeast is interesting, kind of like a footy smelling cheese. It takes a bit of getting used to.

    I haven't really found anything that works as well as a bit of melted butter for getting the seasoning to stick.

    I'm loving the hot-sauce suggestions above and will be trying that the next time popcorn happens.

    Truffle salt. If you like truffles, its ah-mazing! I honestly just spray a little cooking spray on the popcorn when its all done popping if its really dry. I can't taste it, it doesn't have as many calories as butter if you don't douse it, and it makes the salt stick. Or if I want something sweet I do the same thing but put a tsp of sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    coconut oil and salt. I suppose a "ton" of calories is pretty relative though.

    Coconut oil has about the same amount of calories as butter, and doesn't taste as good. Any low cal suggestions?

    Meh...I like it better with popcorn. And by relative I meant that having a 300 calorie bowl of popcorn is not particularly a ton of calories for me.

    Coconut oil on popcorn with a bit of salt is bomb. Best way to get in some good fats. :smiley:
