Seasoning suggestions for popcorn?
I eat popcorn fairly often and I was wondering if I can improve on the taste with minimal effort. Do you guys know any good mix I could use instead of salt alone?

Cloaca, I could eat seven bowls of that!
RandoMcGuvins, I haven't seen that vid in ages, didn't expect it here.
TowardsTheFuture, Was hoping to see someone post this lol. Love it.
AwkwardTurtle, Pepcorn is actually and unironically very good.
BuffLettuce, Somehow i had never seen this video before. Honestly? beats Food Network. Now im off to Amazon to buy a Wok and a Coffee grinder. I need to get bomb at making Pepcorn.
bl00dmeat, Cheddar cheese powder. The neon orange stuff that stains your fingers.
christyotwisty, I know of Gayelord Hauser's Spike seasoning which is salt-free. I use salt for food lots of times, but Spike and melted butter elevate our popcorn's taste.
skip0110, Flavacol :) (https://whatthepopcorn.com/what-is-flavacol/) Basically, it's "movie popcorn flavor"
chocoladisco, With an spice grinder it becomes a lot easier:
- Salt, msg, chili and citric acid
- Salt, dried out parmiggiano reggiano and black truffle
- Salt and msg
- Salt and nutritional yeast for that "fake cheesy" flavor
janus2, Chili lime flavor made with True Citrus lime powder + regular chili powder
Bonus: grind in a mortar & pestle to get a much finer powder that sticks to the popcorn better
ShanJezi, I'm a fan of nutritional yeast and salt
janus2, Agreed, that's the good stuff
I grind the yeast flakes and salt in my mortar & pestle to get a fine powder that sticks much more easily
zibat, I pop my own on the stove, and recently found that ghee is a great oil for that giving a light buttery flavor. I sprinkle on a bit of salt and King Arthur “Better Cheddar “. So delicious!
ArtZuron, I'm not a big popcorn guy, but have a garlic/salt/pepper mix that I put on almost everything I can. I bet it'd be good on popcorn.
You could probably go with garlic salt though for something similar, if you don't like pepper. Maybe some parmesian, since that's salty too.
offthecrossbar, I'm a big fan of the Cheesy Seasoning Blend at Trader Joe's!
Skoobs, Garlic powder and the cheap parmesan cheese in the shaker. So good!
ArtZuron, I second this. I put garlic powder or flakes on basically everything. Garlic salt works well for this too
Zoop, This is exactly what I came to suggest! A good friend of mine turned me onto it and changed my life.
benvars, I'm gonna try that, i usually do parmesan and pepper, yours goood.
frostycakes, Old Bay on popcorn is amazing, I don't make it any other way anymore.
sylverstream, I spray them with olive oil (from a spray can) and then grind salt over them. I prepare them in a self made bag in the microwave. Very easy and delicious.
argentcorvid, I like Old Bay. But really, any seasoning blend works pretty good. If you have a spice grinder, you might consider grinding it finer so it distributes better.
I have a WhirleyPop so making kettle corn is pretty easy, since you stir the whole time.
ShanJezi, I love my Whirly Pop
argentcorvid, yeah it's great. I do wonder about the ones that are basically the same, but self-contained and electric though.
fratermus, flavacol -- "better living through chemistry"
