Jalapeño Popcorn Recipe - For Spicy Snackers
This spicy twist is a great alternative to regular popcorn.
Ingredients
- 1 Jalapeño pepper sliced, you can add additional peppers for more spice and flavor!
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
Instructions
- Slice Jalapeños. I use fresh jalapeños when I have them, or you can also use pickled Jalapeños. Slice the jalapenos and remove most of the seeds. If using pickled Jalapeño drain on a paper towel prior to cooking.
- Heat oil on the stove over low or medium heat for a minute and then add the jalapeno slices and cook to your large pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes until just turning golden brown. They will continue to cook after you add popcorn kernels. If you’re worried you’ve cooked them too much, just take them out with a slotted spoon and add back once the popcorn is complete.
- Add popcorn kernels. Use a spoon to stir the popcorn kernels, oil and jalapenos until the first popcorn kernel pops. After the first kernels of popcorn begin to pop, cover the pan. Gently shake the pan from side to side while the pan is still over the heat every 10 seconds or so to keep the popcorn from burning.
- Once you only hear one pop every 3-4 seconds, your popcorn should be done. You can remove from the heat and add to your serving bowl. Top with whatever you'd like, melted butter, salt, etc.
