Home Made Microwave Popcorn....
Here is my recipe for making home made microwave popcorn. By making your own you are not getting all the bad stuff they put in the ones you buy prepackaged from the store. You can also save a lot of money by making your own.
Be creative you can put whatever toppings you like on it. In this post I show you how to use a brown paper lunch bag to make the popcorn. If you own a Tupperware bowl that has a lid with a vent on it you can also use something like that if you prefer. I have made it both ways and they both turned out great. Enjoy!!
Home Made Microwave Popcorn
1/4 cup of popcorn kernels, white or yellow
1 brown lunch size paper bag
1 pat of butter (optional)
2 small pieces of tape
Season after it is popped. I listed some seasonings below you can use whatever you like....
Put the popcorn kernels in the lunch bag. Roll the top over 2 times then seal it down with your tape. Put the bag in the microwave as shown in the picture above. The flap on the bag should face up. Every microwave is different so cooking time may vary between 2-5 minutes. Mine was perfect after 3 minutes and 20 seconds.
After it was popped we seasoned it with the following....
I did pour the popcorn into a bowl to season it up and then I mixed it well when I was done we put it back into the bag. See which way you prefer.....
Braggs Amino Acids (gives it a salty and soy sauce type of flavor) I sprayed this on the popcorn first so that the seasonings would stick to the moist popcorn better. If you prefer butter or oil put that on your popcorn first after melting it so that the seasonings stick to yours also....
2 heaping Tbsp of Nutritional Yeast (this gives it a cheesy taste without using cheese)
1 heaping Tbsp of Frontier Cheese powder or Parmesan cheese
1 tsp of garlic powder
1 tsp of onion powder
2 Dashes of cayenne pepper
Sea Salt to taste
You can try some Cajun seasoning or melt some butter and add it to the popcorn. You can also melt some Extra Virgin Coconut oil and pour it over the popcorn and add melted caramel or whatever you like on your popcorn. There are so many ways to eat popcorn. Make your favorite then share the recipe with us all! Get creative and have some fun with your children! Your children will have great fun making their own home made microwave popcorn! I had great fun watching mine make it then eat it!
Dearest Lord, Thank you for the enjoyable snack of popcorn. There are so many yummy ways to flavor it and it is also full of fiber which of course is wonderful for the body! It was also a fun, easy and healthy way to build memories with my children. Thank you for the creative idea and also thank you as always for food! In Jesus name I pray, Amen~
