CAJUN-SPICED POPCORN

This recipe came from Alan (my best friend in college). His parents are from Louisiana and this was his mom's recipe. We used to have poker parties all the time and this was one of our favorite things to serve. Popcorn is cheap, so we made a lot of different flavored popcorns.

3 quarts popped popcorn
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon lemon pepper

Tips:

  • For a healthier version of this snack, use air-popped popcorn instead of microwave popcorn.
