Recipe:

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1/2 cup popcorn kernels
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional toppings: nutritional yeast, dried herbs, or grated Parmesan cheese.

Ingredient Substitutions:

Popcorn Kernels: You can use pre-popped popcorn if desired, just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Coconut Oil: Substitute with olive oil or melted butter.
Sriracha Sauce: Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your spice preference, or use a different hot sauce of your choice.

Instructions:

Heat the coconut oil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat.
Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it with the lid. Shake the pot gently to coat the kernels with the oil.
Continue shaking the pot occasionally to prevent the popcorn from burning.
Once the popping slows down, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a minute to ensure all the kernels have popped.
In a small bowl, mix together the sriracha sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
Drizzle the sriracha mixture over the popped popcorn and toss gently to coat evenly.
Optional: Sprinkle nutritional yeast, dried herbs, or grated Parmesan cheese over the popcorn for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Storage:

Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can reheat it briefly in the oven to regain some of its crunchiness.

Successful Recipe Variations:

Sweet and Spicy: Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the sriracha mixture for a sweet and spicy twist.
Smoky Flavor: Mix in a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder to add a smoky kick to your popcorn.
Herb Infusion: Sprinkle dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano over the popcorn for an herby flavor burst.
