Equipment

  • Dutch Oven Pot

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

  • Pour oil in a large pot, like a Dutch oven.
  • After 1 minute, add popcorn kernels.
  • Cover with a tight fitting lid.
  • Cook on high heat, shaking the pan occasionally until the popping stops. Turn off the heat.
  • After 1 minute, immediately transfer to a bowl so that the residual heat does not cause the popcorn to burn.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet. Add cinnamon, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and sugar. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer popcorn to a large paper bag. Pour spiced butter over it. Shake to evenly coat the popcorn.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Make it vegan by using your favorite vegan coconut oil or avocado oil margarine.
