A quick and easy homemade popcorn snack seasoned with everything bagel seasoning for a crispy, savory treat perfect for snack time or movie nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) popcorn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 3 popcorn kernels and cover with the lid.
  2. Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining 1/2 cup (100 g) of kernels in an even layer. Cover and shake the pot gently every 10 seconds to prevent burning. Pop for about 3-4 minutes until popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.
  3. Immediately remove the pot from heat once popping slows to avoid burning.
  4. Pour the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl, leaving any unpopped kernels behind.
  5. Melt 2 tablespoons (28 g) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, about 30 seconds, stirring gently.
  6. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the popcorn while gently tossing with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and optional 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast. Toss until well coated.
  7. Spread the popcorn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in a warm oven at 200°F (95°C) for 5 minutes to crisp the coating without drying it out.
  8. Let the popcorn cool slightly before serving to firm up and meld flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

Shake the pot gently while popping to prevent burning. Toss seasoning while popcorn is warm for better flavor adherence. Use a warm mixing bowl to keep butter liquid longer. For extra crispness, warm popcorn in a 200°F oven for 5 minutes after seasoning. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days and re-crisp in the oven if needed.
