What to put on popcorn
I had a post long ago with ideas for popcorn seasonings. Mark Bittman has a post of general advice about making popcorn, and he offers these seasoning ideas as part of that post:
Toss any of these with just-cooked popcorn, alone or in combination. Since some are more potent than others, start with a light sprinkle and taste as you go.
- Chopped fresh herbs
- Black pepper
- Chili powder
- Curry powder, or garam or chaat masala
- Old Bay seasoning
- Five-spice powder
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Cayenne or red chile flakes
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Brown sugar
- Finely ground nuts or shredded, unsweetened coconut
- Chopped dried fruit
A couple people in the comments there mentioned nutritional yeast, and I can heartily endorse that recommendation. Salt and nutritional yeast is the topping of choice at my house.

That’s The Wife’s favored topping as well.
