Recipe: Flavoured Popcorn

I'm bringing this (among other things) to the family Christmas party because catering for multiple coeliacs in one family still doesn't come easily to those who don't have to cook for us much!
It makes 8 cups.


Ingredients

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

Method

  1. Combine paprika, oregano, thyme, onion salt and half the oil in a bowl.
  2. Heat remaining oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of popping corn. Oil is hot enough when corn turns slowly in a circle.
  3. Add remaining corn. Cover pan tightly. Shake pan when corn starts popping. Remove from heat when corn stops popping. Transfer popcorn to a bowl. Discard unpopped corn. Add paprika mixture. Toss to combine. Cool. Place popcorn in snap-lock bags for lunchboxes.

Notes


Variation: For an 'adult' popcorn snack, replace paprika, oregano, thyme and onion salt with 1 tablespoon Moroccan seasoning.
