Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.333 cup Popcorn kernels
- Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Nonfat dry buttermilk powder
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover with the lid.
Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even heating. Continue shaking gently as the popping increases to prevent burning.
Once the popping slows down significantly (1-2 seconds between pops), remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a moment until the popping stops completely.
Transfer the popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the dried parsley, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and nonfat dry buttermilk powder. Stir to mix evenly.
Lightly spray the popcorn with olive oil spray, tossing as you go to ensure the popcorn is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mixture over the popcorn, tossing well to distribute the flavors evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat ranch popcorn!
