How to get seasoning to stick to popcorn

The best way to get dry seasonings to stick to popped popcorn is with a binder like melted butter or oil. You can add even more flavor by using coconut oil, olive oil, or your favorite flavored oil.

Step 1

To season evenly, spread the hot popcorn out on a baking sheet or other flat surface. Use wax paper or parchment paper to make cleanup easy.

Step 2

With a spray mister, apply the melted butter or oil to the popcorn. You can also drizzle directly onto the popcorn, but do so lightly so the popcorn doesn't get soggy.

Step 3

Choose a new seasoning flavor (so many to choose from!) and sprinkle evenly on the popcorn. Use a large spoon to gently toss the popcorn.

Step 4

Repeat as needed until the popcorn is seasoned to your preference.
