Dill pickle popcorn is the munchy, crunchy snack you’ve been waiting for. We start with a heap of popcorn and layer on that iconic dill pickle flavor. Our tasty, tangy popcorn flavor comes from pickle juice along with a mix of pickling spices.
How To Make This Recipe
We begin by popping up a pile of fresh popcorn. Air popped popcorn works well here, but feel free to pop up those kernels any which way you like. We’re also bringing a host of other pickling spices to the party–coriander, dill weed, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dry mustard. And, don’t forget the pickle juice!
While optional, we love adding nutritional yeast to this spice mix. This adds a welcome layer of cheezy flavor while balancing that tangy acidity. If nooch isn’t your thing, skip it. We, however, love it on this popcorn!
Pickle-inspired spice blend.
Layer On Flavor
Once our popcorn is popped, we prepare our dill pickle seasoning mix. So, in a small bowl, we mix together all of our dry spices. Then, we set this bowl to the side as we begin to layer our popcorn with flavor.
Next, we lightly drizzle or spritz our popped popcorn with pickle juice. We take care to drizzle a thin stream all over to maximize surface area. Do not pour it all into one spot, or you’ll just get a nasty puddle of mushy popcorn.
Coat popcorn in a blend of spices.
Next, we toss our popcorn to distribute the pickle juice. Finally, we add our seasoning mix and toss again to coat.
Ready To Serve
And, that’s it. Wasn’t that easy? Now, let’s grab a big scoop of popcorn and munch away!
Enjoy that dill pickle popcorn!
