What are your favorite seasonings/toppings for popcorn?
A few of my favorites -dill pickle seasoning, Old Bay, rosemary and Parmesan, cheese powder, good ol’ coconut oil and salt
powdered mushroom and salt
nutritional yeast, coarsely ground roasted sunflower seeds and salt
I spray the popcorn with butter flavored cooking spray first.

Bacon fat?
How did you discover that?
From my friend who loves popcorn . It’s pretty awesome .
Nutritional yeast will always and forever be my #1. I use a spray of coconut oil or olive oil so it sticks on better for most toppings.
- everything but the bagel spice from trader joe’s, i’ll put on anything lately
- salt and smoked paprika
- melted butter and a sprinkle of soy sauce
- coconut oil spray, smoked salt and hemp seeds
- the 21 seasoning from trader joes

Popcorn is my favorite snack. Browned butter and either flake salt or smoked salt. Around Christmas time I’ll get fancy with cinnamon sugar.

Lately it’s butter ghee and shredded Parmesan. I like to microwave it with the Parmesan on for a few seconds until it crisps up.
An Australian seasoning called chicken salt has been recommended to me, but I haven’t been able to find it yet. It is on Amazon.
Buttah, lots and lots of that fake artery clogging buttah.
Actually a favorite restaurant of mine makes a truffle oil popcorn, salt pepper and truffle oil and parsley…sooooooooo F’n good.
This is my favorite way to make popcorn, although I admit we then top it with browned butter and salt as well. Luckily this is a very occasional indulgence in our household!

I make truly great popcorn using coconut popcorn oil and Flavacol seasoning. Sometimes I top with grated cheese or cheddar cheese powder.

My favorite at the moment is to pop in coconut oil, then season with salt, white pepper, and cayenne. Then sprinkle will lime juice.
I am also using TJ’s Everything Bagel spice these days, but I grind it up in a spice grinder first.
I once found a spray bottle at TJ Maxx which had much larger holes than a regular spray bottle. It was perfect for distributing popcorn seasoning. It would spray dried herbs, lime pulp, and such. It broke down and I could never find such a gadget again.
Definitely cheese powder!
I usually use white cheddar cheese powder but tried a blue cheese powder yesterday. Definitely a nice very tasty cheese powder option, though I prefer the cheddar.
Not a topping but these are surprisingly good.

That would definitely surprise me!

No one has mentioned hot sauce?
A sprinkle of Crystal hot sauce, or Louisiana Red, or Tapatio makes for a nice bowl of popcorn, with the occasional soggy and spicy piece to make it interesting. (My friend uses Tabasco, but I don’t judge her for that.)

Crystal and Cajun Chef are my favs. You shake it on after popping or in the oil?
I usually do plain yeast or yeast with garlic and salt but tried this mix this weekend and it was great https://wholenewmom.com/recipes/dorito-flavored-popcorn-dairy-free/. I’ve never had Doritos so can’t vouch for the similarity but it was a tasty flavorful blend.
