Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for popping)
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Optional: sliced jalapeños for garnish
Instructions
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels, cover the pot, and shake it gently to coat the kernels with oil.
- Wait for the popping sounds to start! When you hear the pops slow down to about 2 seconds apart, remove the pot from heat immediately to prevent burning.
- Carefully transfer the popped popcorn into a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the popped popcorn and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the buttered popcorn, and toss again to ensure every kernel is well seasoned.
- If desired, add sliced jalapeños for an extra kick!
- Serve immediately for the best crunch, and enjoy your delicious nacho popcorn!
