Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat canola oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. (1 minute)

02

Step

Add 1-2 popcorn kernels to the hot oil. When the kernel pops, the oil is ready. (1-2 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the remaining popcorn kernels into the pot, ensuring they form a single layer. Season with half of the popcorn salt. Stir to coat the kernels evenly. (1 minute)

04

Step

Cover the pot tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil. Use a knife to poke about 10 small holes into the foil to allow steam to escape. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Cook the popcorn over medium-high heat until the popping slows to approximately 2-3 seconds between pops. This usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.

06

Step

In a small bowl, combine the remaining popcorn salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chipotle chile pepper, and ancho chile pepper.

07

Step

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the hot popcorn. Toss thoroughly to ensure even coating. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, try using coconut oil instead of canola oil.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spiciness level.
Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    I omitted the cayenne pepper because I'm sensitive to spice, and it was still delicious!
