Honey Sriracha Popcorn is a killer spicy-sweet popcorn. This stuff is delicious and makes a great movie time snack.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Zest of 1 lime
- 10 cups popped popcorn (from about one 3.5-ounce bag)
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Preheat oven to 250°F. Stir salt, baking soda, garlic powder, cinnamon, coriander, and cumin in a medium bowl.
Step 2
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add honey, sugar, Sriracha, and cayenne, if using, and bring to a boil. Add 1 Tbsp. water and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lime zest and spice mixture.
Step 3
Place popcorn in a large bowl and pour spicy honey syrup over. Using a rubber spatula, quickly stir to evenly coat popcorn. Transfer popcorn to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing every 15 minutes, 45 minutes total. Let cool 5 minutes before devouring (it will get crunchy as it cools).
Popcorn can be made 4 days ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Honey Sriracha Popcorn is ready! Enjoy!
