Vegan Popcorn Seasonings (6 Ways)

Easy homemade vegan popcorn seasonings including both sweet and savoury recipes. These simple, DIY popcorn flavour boosters are an easy at home solution for healthy snacks.

One of our personal favourite snacks is popcorn. It’s easy to make, affordable, and customizable. Whether it’s a movie night or for a work snack, these popcorn seasonings are a great way to spruce up a healthy snack.

Whether you’re looking for something sweet or savoury, popcorn is the perfect vessel and we’ve got 6 simple seasoning recipes including ranch, taco, cinnamon-sugar, salt n’ vinegar, chili cheese, and curry. Plus each recipe works for about 4 cups of popped popcorn.

Top tips for making the perfect stove-top popcorn:

  • Use a heavy bottomed pot for best results. Cheaper, thin pots don’t distribute heat evenly. It’s best to use something with a thicker, heavy bottom. However, having said that we have used cheaper pots and it works, you just have to watch it more carefully.
  • Keep the heat low. Cranking the heat too high doesn’t speed up the popping, it just burns the kernels and no one likes burnt popcorn. Best to stay on a medium-low heat.
  • Use a little bit of coconut oil. Use about a tbsp of coconut oil per 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels for best results and a delicious flavour.
  • Test the heat. Before adding all your kernels to your pot, add a couple first to test to make sure the heat is right.
  • Shake, shake, shake to avoid burning. Keep the kernels moving in the pot to avoid any burnt kernels.
  • Allow air to escape the pot. Keep the lid of your pot a little ajar when not shaking so that the steam can escape and the kernels don’t steam. Steamed kernels loose their crispiness.
  • Remove from the heat when the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds. Once your popping is no longer rapid and has slowed to about 2-3 seconds between pops you should remove it from the heat and put in a bowl.
