Looking for a bold twist on a classic movie night snack? This homemade chilli popcorn by Liv at The Happy Olive is made with just four ingredients, including a splash of Chilli Oil to deliver a crunchy, spicy popcorn snack that’s anything but ordinary. Whether you’re craving a quick spicy popcorn fix or need an addictive savoury treat for your next get-together, this homemade chilli popcorn recipe brings the heat with every irresistible bite.

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the rapeseed oil in a large pan over medium heat. Drop in 2–3 popcorn kernels. When they pop, the oil is ready.

  2. 2

    Add the rest of the kernels, stir to coat in oil, and cover. Reduce to low heat and let the magic happen — shake the pan occasionally to stop burning. Once the popping slows, remove from heat.

  3. 3

    While still hot, drizzle with chilli oil and toss well. Add salt if using.

  4. 4

    You can also try nutritional yeast for a savoury umami hit. Or sugar for a sweet and spicy version
