What to put on popcorn

I Love, Love popcorn!! I use the air popper and then spitz with a spray or two of non stick spray--any flavor you like and then add whatever seasonings you like. It will stick on the popcorn so it is not so dry. I have used several of the seasonings, including spicy french fry seasoning, but, I prefer plain old salt. Need to watch how much--because you will retain more water if you overdo.0

My husband introduced this to me which i thought sounded GROSS but its so GOOD...
Mustard.
Mustard is awesome on everything!!0 -
I use kernel seasons they come in all kinds of flovors and are really low calorie and they have a butter that tastes really good and a ranch
I use this sometimes (in "all dressed" flavour) but it usually sticks to the bottom of the bowl and you have to put on quite a lot.
Now there are varieties of orville redenbacher flavoured popcorn you can buy and they are usually from their "smart pop" line (no butter) but I've never tried them. Personally, I just like plain popcorn better.0 -
Spray Olive Oil cooking spray on the popcorn in layers. Just one or two quick sprays..along with Lemon Pepper seasoning....my favoirte way to eat popcorn :~)0

For a sweet AND salty treat in one, put a little honey on it, then after you've coated it well, add salt and pepper!!! I got this from a Weight Watchers mag one time and I'm absolutely hooked on it!!! You should try it, it's delicious... :bigsmile:0

My daughter loves popcorn! We have a hot air popcron maker and she then just sprinkles salt on it; it's obviously not as nice as microwave popcorn as it doesn't have the fat but I challenge you to buy the micro popcorn, DON'T cook it, but open up the bag and have a look inside. The congealed fat that you see in there (which is what makes it taste so nice) is horrific and must be just like the inside of our arteries if we eat it!
Actually, that's not how it works. While it might be a helpful image for you, if you find it unappetizing and you really need to avoid the extra sodium in microwave popcorn, the plaque that builds up in arteries looks nothing like what is in a popcorn bag, mostly because it IS nothing like it. What's in the popcorn bag doesn't cause it either. Recent research says an ongoing inflammatory response is the cause, rather than fat or cholesterol in the diet. Fat certainly has more calories per gram than carbohydrates and protein, so you do need to conscious of how much of it you consume, but it's important to me to know what the medical research community currently thinks about how foods we eat affect health.
I also don't find the oil in a popcorn bag "horrific," but that might just be me...

I buy these because they're fine-grained enough to stick well without butter. For me, butter on popcorn has always been about getting salt and seasonings to stick... http://goo.gl/Kd1TQ
I like caramel, and parmesan, and..who am I kidding, I like them all except jalapeno.
Don't get me wrong, I love butter, but on popcorn, I've always only cared for it too keep the seasonings on.0 -
ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S, MICROWAVE ORGANIC SMART POP BUTTER POPCORN! Only 120 calories for a 3.5 cup bag and it's organic popcorn, organic palm oil, and salt! Awesome! With the aforementioned seasonings it's even better!0

Thanks, I gave away my microwave but used to nuke it in a brown paper bag and spray it with olive oil mister then add popcorn seasonings or salt. It does need some oil to stick to it, or someone suggested lemon juice? Good idea to get an air popper. I think I'll do that. I love popcorn, too, but find I can eat tons of it and I think 3 cups is 90 calories, which would be a good amount to aim for.0

I *loove* Cabot cheddar powder. It's my favorite way to have popcorn. https://www.shopcabot.com/products/details.php?id=220
