Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine all in a small bowl.
  • Store in glass or plastic container with a tight fitting lid.
  • Stir or shake occasionally before use to redistribute ingredients.
  • Simply sprinkle on top of freshly popped popcorn and enjoy!

Notes

  • Blending: For best results, blend the seasoning mix before using so it sticks evenly to the popcorn. This prevents large herb flakes (like rosemary or parsley) from separating.
  • Organic Popcorn: I recommend using organic popcorn whenever possible, since most conventional corn is genetically modified. It’s an easy upgrade for a healthier snack.
  • Best Oil for Popping: You can use butter or coconut oil, but avocado oil is ideal due to its high smoke point.
  • Herb Substitution: If you don’t have summer savory, you can substitute thyme, but the flavor will be slightly stronger.
  • Helping Seasoning Stick: Popcorn needs a bit of oil (or a light oil spray) for the seasoning to adhere. A light mist of water can work, but too much may make the popcorn soggy.
