High Honey-Sriracha Popcorn image

No cannabis? No problem-skip it and you'll still have a killer spicy-sweet popcorn. But for those that want to partake, make sure you use only 1/2 teaspoon baked herb in this recipe (you'll have about 1 1/2 teaspoons leftover for another use). And go slow! This stuff is delicious, but you want to start with a little over a cup and wait at least an hour before having more-it often takes that long to feel the effects.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1.25 grams (1/16th ounce) cannabis
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup virgin coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Zest of 1 lime
10 cups popped popcorn (from about one 3.5-ounce bag)

Steps:

  • To decarb herb, preheat oven to 225°F and line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Sort cannabis bud and flower for stems and seeds (discard stems and seeds). Finely grind herb using a hand herb grinder or very finely chop with a chef's knife. Spread herb into an even layer in pan. Cover pan tightly with foil, crimping it around edges of pan, and bake until golden brown, 40-50 minutes. Let cool, covered, 20 minutes. Makes about 2 tsp. decarbed herb.
  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Stir salt, baking soda, garlic powder, cinnamon, coriander, and cumin in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/2 tsp. decarbed herb (be careful to only use 1/2 tsp. here, reserving the remaining decarbed herb for another use.)
  • Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Add honey, sugar, Sriracha, and cayenne, if using, and bring to a boil. Add 1 Tbsp. water and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lime zest and spice mixture.
  • Place popcorn in a large bowl and pour spicy honey syrup over. Using a rubber spatula, quickly stir to evenly coat popcorn. Transfer popcorn to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake, tossing every 15 minutes, 45 minutes total. Let cool 5 minutes before devouring (it will get crunchy as it cools).
  • This recipe is only intended for those who have obtained marijuana legally under applicable federal and state laws.

I've tried many honey sriracha popcorn recipes, but this one is the best. The sauce is the perfect consistency and the popcorn is always crispy.

I love that this recipe uses real honey instead of sugar. It gives the popcorn a much more natural flavor.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this popcorn. I'm not usually a fan of sweet and spicy flavors, but this popcorn was the perfect balance. The honey sriracha sauce was not too sweet or too spicy, and the popcorn was perfectly crispy.
