Dill Pickle Popcorn

Published on January 20, 2019 by Stephanie Kay

This homemade dill pickle popcorn is easy to make and packed full of flavour! Made with dried fill, onion powder, garlic powder, and the perfect combination of butter and salt, this popcorn is tangy, salty and savoury, and a great way to satisfy a craving in a much healthier way.

Dill Pickle Popcorn

 

Popcorn is one of my favourite snacks; it’s super simple to make, and can easily satisfy a crunchy, salty or savoury craving. Although it’s got a bit of a bad reputation, not all popcorn is created equal. Yes, the stuff at the movie theatre is delicious, but it’s also covered in vegetable oil and too many additives to list, however, when made at home popcorn is a highly underrated and nutritious snack. Not only is it simple to whip up on the stovetop, but plain or natural popcorn in microwavable bags is becoming easier and easier to find, and is a great shortcut if you don’t feel like popping the kernels yourself. But, to me, the best part about popcorn is the toppings; by simply combining some herbs and spices you can easily create any sweet or savoury flavour you like. Of all of the flavours, dill pickle is one of my personal favourites and, after polling you all on Instagram, it appears it is one of yours too!

This dill pickle popcorn is salty and savoury and everything in between, and the perfect movie night snack that you can feel good about eating since it is just as good for you.

Ingredients

Popcorn:

  • 1/4 cup corn kernels (or 1 bag plain microwave popcorn)
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Dill Pickle Seasoning:

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy bottom pot on medium heat and allow to melt.
  2. Once melted, add corn kernels, cover with a lid and allow all kernels to pop. (If using microwave popcorn, pop as per bag directions and omit the first 2 tablespoons of butter from the recipe.)
  3. While the popcorn is popping, combine all of the spices in a small bowl or jar and set aside. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan or dish in the microwave and set aside.
  4. Once the popcorn is ready, drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with dill pickle seasoning to your liking.

      This recipe was pretty good but I felt like it was a little too salty. I would like to try it again with no garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt

      I love putting different toppings on popcorn, and this one has a completely unique flavor.
