Popcorn makes a great and healthy snack for fall season (assuming one doesn't overdo the sugar, butter and caramel!)
Stove Top
Popcorn can be made in a dedicated corn popping machine, in the microwave, or you can even pop popcorn on the stove. If you're new to popping corn, the following is a beginner's guide to making popcorn on the stove.
All you need is oil, corn, and some salt for the most basic version. However, a sprinkle of brown sugar will give the stovetop popcorn a nice autumnal flavor!
Tip #1: Use oil with a higher smoke point, such as Canola Oil.
Tip #2: Remember to use medium-high heat or medium heat only as we don't want the corn to burn!
Spicy Popcorn
This is a great snack if you're trying to live more sustainably as it uses up leftover chili oil! (I also show you how to make your own Chinese chili oil in the post.)

Soy Sauce
If you're left with a big bowl of popcorn after the family movie night, try this butter soy popcorn recipe.
The melted butter and light soy sauce mixture will soften your popcorn, so this is a great way to use up slightly stale popcorn (and not freshly popped ones.) The savory sauce will make up for any loss of texture!
Salted Egg
Fans of salty popcorn would love this easy recipe for salted egg popcorn. Salted egg has so much depth of flavor and umami, it's been called Asian parmesan.
If you love salted egg as much as I do, you may want to check out this collection of other salted egg yolk recipes!
Tip: it's easy to make your own salted eggs at home and so much healthier too!
Gochujang
This Korean-inspired popcorn only needs 5 ingredients and is a vegetarian-friendly, delicious popcorn recipe.
If you can't get Gochujang, you can even make a quick hack version of the Korean fermented chili paste at home!
Thai
This Thai-inspired popcorn is crunchy, sweet, sour and spicy, thanks to the brown sugar, light soy sauce and Sriracha.
Miso
This Miso and Black Sesame Popcorn is full of flavor and uses only 4 ingredients! If you don't usually use black sesame, you can omit it or just it up in these sesame recipes.
Wasabi
This Japanese inspired popcorn is easy to make, spicy, and sweet!
Caramel Popcorn
Homemade caramel corn stays fresh for a week or two, even at room temperature.
You'll need some freshly popped corn and 6 other ingredients for the sauce, such as corn syrup. Place the homemade popcorn on a baking sheet, then pour the sauce over.
Cinnamon Kettle Corn
There are few things that smell as autumnal as brown sugar and cinnamon!
This Cinnamon Kettle Corn is a great fall treat AND you can easily turn it into a Pumpkin Spice Popcorn Recipe by replacing the ground cinnamon with pumpkin pie spice.
