Hot Jalapeno Popcorn
This isn’t just popcorn; it’s a party in your mouth! With every bite, you’ll experience a burst of flavor that dances on the edge of spicy and savory. Bet you can’t eat just one!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or any oil you fancy)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1-2 tablespoons of jalapeno powder (adjust according to your heat preference)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
- First things first, pop your popcorn! Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add a few kernels to the pot and wait for them to pop. Once they pop, add the rest of the popcorn kernels in an even layer.
- Cover the pot and start shaking it like it’s the end of the world! Shake it continuously to prevent burning until the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops. Carefully remove it from heat.
- Now, for the fun part! In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, jalapeno powder, garlic powder, and salt. Set it aside and let the spices mingle – they deserve it!
- Toss the hot popcorn with the melted butter (if you dare!) and sprinkle the spice mixture over it. Toss everything together so that each fluffy kernel gets a taste of that flavor explosion.
- Finally, grab your favorite movie, plop down on the couch, and enjoy your Hot Jalapeno Popcorn while pretending it’s healthy because, hello, it’s corn! Just remember: things might get a bit spicy, so have a water bottle handy!
Now that you’re equipped with the ultimate Hot Jalapeno Popcorn recipe, go forth and snack like a legend! And remember: life is too short for bland popcorn!
