Popcorn can be seasoned to suit every palate, whether you prefer sweet or savory.
Here are a few of our favorite winning savory flavor combinations:
Olive Oil Popcorn with Garlic & Rosemary
Olive Oil Savory Popcorn with Garlic and Rosemary
Dress your popcorn like you would roast potatoes!
Drizzle over olive oil and add fresh rosemary and pressed garlic for a delicious Mediterranean-style batch of aromatic popcorn with lots of added health benefits.
If you don’t have fresh herbs, dried garlic and rosemary will work too. Grated parmesan cheese optional!
Cajun Popcorn
Cajun seasoning for savory popcorn
This recipe comes courtesy of Martha Stewart and uses all dry ingredients.
Simply combine 2 teaspoons of paprika and table salt with 1 teaspoon each of onion powder and garlic powder with a pinch of black pepper and cayenne pepper for a taste of Southern Louisiana.
Cheesy Popcorn
Cheesy Savory Popcorn
This savory popcorn variation is super addictive so beware!
All you need to make cheesy popcorn in under 5 minutes is melted butter and cheddar cheese powder which you can buy from Amazon.
Just toss the popcorn in the melted butter and sprinkle with cheddar cheese powder till you have a golden bowl of delicious, puffed corn that’s finger-licking good.
Better Than Bacon Nooch Popcorn
Nutritional yeast is great for adding plant-based flavor to savory popcorn
This is a tasty vegan savory popcorn flavoring using nutritional yeast flakes – aka ‘nooch’, which is a great dairy-free alternative for replacing cheese in soups, salad dressings, sauces and, of course, popcorn.
Simply shake on your freshly air-popped puffs of corn for a tasty plant-based snack. Although you can get nooch in lots of different flavors, Better Than Bacon is our favorite.
Chili Garlic Popcorn
Chili Garlic Savory Popcorn
If you’re a fan of spice, this one’s for you!
Simply mix the following dried ingredients in a small bowl: Smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic salt and onion powder.
Toss the popcorn in melted butter before adding the seasoning and combine well. How hot you make it is entirely up to you!
