My love for popcorn goes way back to my childhood. Movie night with my family meant a giant bucket of buttery popcorn. And I can’t even tell you what movie we just watched because I was too busy shoving popcorn into my mouth. Salty and sweet popcorn seasonings are equally satisfying. Try kettle corn, crunchy caramel, or cinnamon and sugar popcorn to soothe a sweet tooth in a heartbeat. On the other hand, cheesy, spicy, salty popcorn is an ideal guilt-free snack for anytime munchies. And this homemade popcorn seasoning recipe adds pleasant nostalgia to the mix.

You can make both of these seasonings ahead and put them in a jar or spice shaker. Then, they’ll be ready to sprinkle on some big flavor the next time you make popcorn.
Serving and Storage and Instructions
Is there anything better than fresh out of the kettle popcorn? Drizzle on the butter and sprinkle it with seasonings while it’s still in the pan, cover it, and give it a good shake. Ready to go! Your cinnamon sugar popcorn seasoning should stay fresh in your cupboard for way longer than it’ll take to use it up. On the other hand, the savory version with fresh Parmesan cheese will keep in the fridge for about a month.
