Description

This vibrant Pesto Popcorn Seasoning Mix brings the fresh, herbaceous flavors of classic Italian pesto to your movie night or game day snacks. By combining dried basil, parsley, garlic powder, and sharp grated Parmesan cheese with butter-flavored powder, you create a dry rub that adheres perfectly to hot, popped corn. The result is a crunchy, savory treat that offers a sophisticated twist on traditional popcorn seasoning. It is incredibly easy to prepare, requiring no cooking, just simple mixing. This versatile mix is perfect for gifting or storing in an airtight container for quick snacking. It pairs wonderfully with freshly popped air-popped or oil-popped popcorn, delivering a burst of aromatic flavor in every bite without the mess of wet sauces.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the butter flavored sprinkles, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried parsley flakes, and garlic powder.
  2. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over hot, freshly popped popcorn to coat evenly.

Note

Store the seasoning mix in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent the cheese from clumping.

This mixture is designed to coat approximately 10 cups of popped popcorn.

This makes a lovely homemade gift when packaged in a small jar with a bag of unpopped popcorn.

For best results, apply the seasoning immediately after popping while the popcorn is still warm and slightly oily to help it adhere.
