Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chives (dried and finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, dried chives, salt, sugar, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated. Use the back of a spoon to break up any clumps of powdered sour cream for a smooth consistency.
Transfer the mixture into an airtight container or a spice shaker for easy use.
To flavor popcorn: Pop fresh popcorn and while it's still warm, mist it lightly with a neutral oil or melted butter. Sprinkle the sour cream and onion seasoning over the popcorn, tossing to ensure even coverage.
To flavor other snacks, such as chips or roasted nuts: Lightly coat the surface of the snack with oil or butter and sprinkle the seasoning as desired.
Store any leftover shaker mix in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
