Freshly popped stovetop popcorn tossed while hot with your choice of vibrant Green Goddess or savory Ranch Seasoning Blend.
Ingredients
For the Popcorn Base
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 Tbsp olive oil or peanut oil (for cooking)
Seasoning Choice (Use One)
- 1–2 Tbsp Green Goddess Seasoning Blend
- or
- 1–2 Tbsp Ranch Seasoning Blend
Instructions
Heat the Pot & Oil
- Heat Oil: Add the 2 Tbsp olive oil or peanut oil and the ½ cup popcorn kernels directly into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Cover: Cover with a lid and let the oil and kernels heat up together.
Pop the Corn
- Pop & Shake: As the kernels begin to pop, gently shake the covered pot back and forth over the burner to prevent scorching.
- Remove from Heat: Once the popping slows down to 2 to 3 seconds between pops, immediately remove the pot from the burner.
Season & Toss
- Season: Uncover and immediately sprinkle 1 to 2 Tbsp of your chosen Green Goddess or Ranch Seasoning Blend over the hot popcorn while it is still slick with oil.
- Toss & Serve: Cover with the lid and shake vigorously for 10 seconds to distribute the seasoning evenly. Pour into a large serving bowl and enjoy immediately!
Notes
Shaking the hot, freshly popped corn with the spice blend right away lets the residual cooking oil cling to every kernel, ensuring full flavor distribution without extra moisture!
