Popcorn - savoury and sweet topping
/
We love popcorn in the Incredible Bulk household! We thought we’d share a few of our favourite recipes as its such a great plastic free snack!
You’ll need a saucepan with lid and a mixing bowl.
Makes 1 big bowl
Ingredients (when in italics available from the van)
100g Popping Corn (approx 40p)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Method:
Put oil into your saucepan on a medium-high heat, allow coconut oil to melt then add 3 corn kernels and place the lid on the saucepan. Once you hear the corn pop, take off lid, take out popped corn and place rest of corn into pan, replace lid and let them cook until they all pop!
Our favourite toppings:
Cinnamon-coconut (from DeliciouslyElla)
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons coconut sugar (approx 15p)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (approx 25p)
Method: while corn is cooking, place coconut oil in new saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, stir in coconut sugar and cinnamon, mix well, take off heat and pour over popcorn when ready. Stir well to coat.
Salty Rosemary Maple
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon sea salt (approx 6p)
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (approx 5p)
Method: while corn is cooking, place coconut oil in a new saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, stir in maple syrup, salt and rosemary, mix well, take off heat and pour over popcorn when ready. Stir well to coat. Add more maple or salt to taste!
Cheesy Seasoning (inspired from The Zero Waste Chef, Anne-Marie Bonneau)
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast (approx 30p)
1.5 teaspoons sea salt (approx 15p)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (approx 8p)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (approx 8p)
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (approx 5p)
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder (optional) (approx 2p)
Method: While corn is cooking mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar. Once corn popped, place in bowl and add 3-4 tablespoons of mixture and mix to coat evenly (if you find the seasoning falls to bottom of bowl, dribble a small amount of olive oil over the corn and re-mix)
Zero Waste Tips
Look for coconut oil in large glass jars that you can reuse to store your zero waste groceries!
If you have leftover cheesy seasoning keep in jar - use next time you make popcorn or it also makes a great topping to roasted nuts or chickpeas.
