Ingredients for popcorn in a paper bag

You just cannot believe how much easier (and cheaper) it is to make your own popcorn at home! All you need are a few ingredients, a microwave, and a paper bag!

1 cup of popcorn kernels
Brown paper lunch bag
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha seasoning
OR 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel seasoning

A jar of Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning

Sriracha seasoning brings a new level of heat to the microwave popcorn, with a blend of chili peppers, garlic, and vinegar. Everything Bagel seasoning is the perfect blend of spices (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, sea salt flakes, dried garlic, and dried onions) and adds a delicious flavor and crunch to the popcorn! Or, pick your own seasonings!

I used Orville Redenbacher’s Original Popcorn which are 100 percent natural, non-GMO, whole grain, gluten-free popcorn kernels.

TIPS & TRICKS

I used a standard brown lunch bag. The 1/2 cup fills the bag just to the top in just 2 minutes!
Every microwave is different so you may need more time. Just make sure to remove the bag when the popping has 2 seconds between pops, otherwise you’ll have burnt kernels!
You can use either oil or butter. I wanted mine on the lighter side so I chose canola oil. I’m not into buttery popcorn, but it’s your choice!
Be careful when you open the bag. The steam can burn you! The bag will be oily, so you will want to transfer the popcorn to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle extra seasoning on top if you so desire!
