Chili Crisp Popcorn

Hi Everyone, I love making homemade popcorn (opens in a new window) but sometimes it can get boring, enter Chili Crisp Popcorn!

How to Make Chili Crisp Popcorn

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Canola oil or flavorless vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup popcorn, (depending on the size of your Dutch oven, enough to cover the bottom in a single layer)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, amount to taste (opens in a new window)
• fresh ground black pepper, amount to taste
• a drizzle of your favorite chili crisp (we link our favorite in the recipe card at the end of the post)

Step 1

Heat oil of your preference in a Dutch oven on the stovetop at low heat with about 4 popcorn kernels and wait to hear them pop. When they pop, that’s when you know the oil is heated enough for the rest of the kernels.

Step 2

Once, the oil is hot, add popcorn kernels, and make sure that the popcorn is in a single layer, coated by the oil. Turn up to medium heat (make sure that you DO NOT use high heat because the popcorn will burn! Trust me, that is no fun!). Making sure you have oven-safe mitts on, you may want to give the Dutch oven a shift, to make sure the kernels are at the bottom and have a chance to pop.

Step 3

When popping slows down, remove from heat and move to a bowl, drizzle with your favorite brand of Chili Crisp to taste. You can just drizzle it on top or gently toss it with wooden spoons to mix throughout. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Butter or Canola oil, (coconut oil, regular olive oil)
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels, (depending on the size of your dutch oven, enough to cover the bottom in a single layer)
• 1/2 teaspoon iodized salt, amount to taste

2. Once, the butter has melted (or when the oil is hot), add popcorn kernels, and make sure that the popcorn is in a single layer, coated by the butter/oil. Turn up to medium heat (make sure that you DO NOT use high heat because the popcorn will burn! Trust me, that is no fun!). Make sure you have oven-safe mitts on, you may want to give the Dutch oven a shift, to make sure the kernels are at the bottom and have a chance to pop.
3. When popping slows down, remove from heat and move to a bowl, sprinkle the popcorn while hot with salt, pepper, and/or your favorite spices to taste.

Notes

Make sure that your Dutch oven is cleaned out thoroughly before starting, any residue may stick to the popcorn as it cooks.
