How to Get Salt to Stick to Popcorn Without the Use of Butter

Popcorn tastes awesome when seasoned with salt.

If you prefer your popcorn without butter, flavoring it can prove to be a bit of a challenge since there isn't anything for the seasoning of choice to stick to. One way to get salt to stick to popcorn without the use of butter is to substitute with olive oil. Olive oil is healthy, flavorful and won't weigh the popcorn down or cause it to get soggy. If you know the correct way to add the oil to the popcorn, you can get a nicely salted finished product that's sure to satisfy your snack craving.

Things You'll Need

• Popcorn
• Mixing bowl

• Salt

Instructions

1. Pour your already popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl.

2. Toss the popcorn with one hand while you slowly drizzle 1 tbsp. of olive oil evenly over the popcorn. Continue to toss until all the oil has been evenly distributed.

3. Continue to toss the popcorn while you sprinkle the amount of salt that you prefer over the popcorn.
