Recipe: Cajun spiced popcorn

A friend of ours, who is very inventive in the kitchen, shared with us this quick, healthy alternative to potato chips. I’m so glad he did because it’s become my new favourite study snack.

What goes in

Olive oil
1/3 cup popcorn
Cajun seasoning

How you do it

There is a bit of an art to popping popcorn so don’t be disheartened if you don’t get it right first go. Koren and I have been on a bit of a popcorn binge lately (well me more so than Koren) and we think we have finally mastered the perfect pop.

Place the popcorn in a large saucepan and drizzle with olive oil. Place on the stove, cover and turn up the heat. Once you hear the first pop turn the stove down to about medium heat to stop the bottom from burning. You can give the pan a bit of a shake to move any unpopped corn kernals to the bottom. When you hear the popping start to slow remove the saucepan from the heat. Place in a bowl and coat with cajun seasoning. Best eaten warm.

For a cheesy alternative season with cajun seasoning and savoury yeast flakes.
