Spice Movie Night up with this Spiced Popcorn

At our house, Friday is movie night. Sometimes we have friends over, but often it’s just the three of us spending some quality time together as a family watching a movie and munching on some popcorn. I’ve just recently started experimenting with some different flavors for the popcorn and thought I’d share my favorite so far with you today. A few spices give these fluffy pieces of corn an entirely different flavor. Here’s the recipe. Of course you can easily adjust the spices and herbs to suit your own taste.

Spiced Popcorn

• 1 tsp onion salt
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup popping corn
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tsp sweet paprika

In a little bowl, mix paprika, thyme, oregano, onion salt and half the vegetable oil.

Heat other half of oil in saucepan. When oil is very hot, add popping corn and cover with tight fitting lid. When the corn starts popping, give the pan a shake. When the corn stops popping, take pan off heat.

Place popcorn into a serving bowl, discarding any unpopped corn. Add the spice mixture and toss.

For some extra spicy popcorn, add a little chili powder or cayenne pepper to the mix as well.
