How to make this delicious Vegan Salted Caramel Popcorn
List of ingredients
- โ Cup Popcorn kernels
- 6 tbsp Vegan Salted caramel sauce
Guidelines
Prepare the Popcorn:
- Pop โ cup of popcorn kernels using your preferred method (stovetop, hot air popcorn machine, or microwave). This should yield approximately 10 cups of popcorn. I like to use the hot air popcorn machine, which has a measuring cup of exactly โ Cup, so always easy to remember.
- Ensure the popcorn is free of unpropped kernels and place it on a large baking tray covered with parchment paper.
Combine Popcorn and Caramel:
- Drizzle the salted caramel sauce evenly over the popcorn. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss the popcorn, ensuring that the kernels are well-coated.
- Make sure the vegan salted caramel sauce is at room temperature. If it was stored in the fridge, warm it slightly in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. This makes it easier to drizzle over the popcorn.
Bake for Crispiness
- Preheat your oven to 100 ยฐC (212 ยฐF)
- Bake the popcorn for one hour, stirring every 20 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. The popcorn will become crispy as it cools.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, break any large clusters into smaller pieces.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
Store the popcorn in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If it loses its crispness, you can re-crisp it by baking it again for a few minutes. This vegan salted caramel popcorn is perfect for movie nights and game day snacks (Pair with other finger foods and appetizers for a crunchy, sweet, and salty snack during sports events), picnics and Outdoor Events (Pack in airtight containers for easy transport), or even as a dessert topping (Sprinkle over dairy-free ice cream or yogurt for added texture and flavor).
Happy snacking! ๐ฟ๐ฟ
