This DIY theater popcorn at the home recipe (enough for 2-3 people) will have you thinking twice about buying movie theater popcorn and instead BYOP (bring your own popcorn) to the next cinema premiere.

Many years ago, I was given as a birthday gift a nostalgia electrics vintage collection 12-cup hot air popper. A friend of mine has the full cart version.

Oh, what a treat it is to host a movie night on Fridays. It is nice to bring the theater and feel like I am at the movie theater in the comforts of my home. Ready to make a yummy movie theater worthy snack?

Movie Theater Worthy Recipe

Ingredients

• 4-ounce popcorn kernels.

• 1 tablespoon dried dill.

• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast.

• 3 tablespoons French (Trader Joe’s Cultured Salted Butter from Brittany), Irish (Kerrygold), or your favorite butter of choice to taste.

• 1/4 teaspoon lemon-infused extra virgin olive oil.

• Sriracha. I buy Huy Fong foods sriracha hot chili sauce from my local Asian grocery store.

Directions

Add 4-ounces of kernels to the air popper. While the kernels pop into a bowl, warm up the butter in a saucepan on low heat. Once completely melted, drizzle some lemon olive oil in the butter.

You can drizzle olive oil, but for me, the lemon olive oil just adds a little pizzazz.

A little goes a long way, don’t add too much. Once the popcorn has finished, pour the butter over the popcorn.

Sprinkle the nutritional yeast and dried drill. Mix well. Drizzle sriracha and mix again.

Add another drizzle of sriracha for that sweet and sour flavor of the lemon olive oil.

You’re going to need a tasty beverage to wash down that gourmet popcorn like a Starbuck’s inspired tea lemonade.
