Ingredients
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
12 cups popcorn,
Air-popped cooking spray
back home
Directions
In a small bowl, stir together spices, salt and pepper. Spread popped popcorn in an even layer in a large shallow baking pan. Lightly coat popcorn with cooking spray. Sprinkle the spice mixture over popcorn in a very large bowl, toss the popcorn to coat. Serves 12
Popcorn is a great snack to welcome guests with before putting out a full buffet, and for a hungry hostess to munch on while cooking. This whole grain has three times more polyphenols— antioxidants linked to improving heart health — than kidney beans and four times more than cranberries. Just half a teaspoon per day of cinnamon has been found to lower LDL cholesterol.
