This is a recipe for Cheddar Dill Carrot Popcorn, a flavorful and cheesy snack with a secret portion of carrots hidden inside. Unlike our Spinach White Cheddar Popcorn, where we added seasoning after popping, this time we’re coating the popcorn with coconut oil first to help the powder stick better to each kernel. Coconut oil is a fantastic butter substitute and highly recommended for a light, crispy texture. The carrot flavor is completely undetectable, making this a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional movie night snacks!

This recipe uses...

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unpopped kernels
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, divided into 1 1/2 tablespoon portions
  • 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese powder
  • 2 teaspoons dill weed
  • 2 teaspoons Carrot Spreggies

Bake Mode is Off

Directions

  1. Heat the Oil:

    In a large pot over medium heat, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil and let it heat up. Make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate the popped kernels.

  2. Prepare the Seasoning Mix:

    While the oil is heating, mix together cheddar cheese powder, dill weed, and Carrot Spreggies in a small bowl until well combined.

  3. Pop the Kernels:

    Once the coconut oil is hot, add 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels, cover with a lid, and allow them to pop. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. When the popping slows to about 4 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.

  4. Melt the Remaining Coconut Oil:

    In a separate microwave-safe bowl, heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil for about 10 seconds until fully melted.

  5. Coat the Popcorn with Oil:

    Transfer the popped popcorn to a large container with a secure lid. Pour the warm melted coconut oil over the popcorn, close the lid, and shake until evenly coated.

  6. Add the Seasoning:

    Open the lid, sprinkle the cheddar-carrot seasoning mixture over the popcorn, and shake well.

  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture, or store in an airtight container to keep it fresh for later snacking.
