Cajun-Spiced Popcorn

Redneck Epicurean's Note:

This recipe came from Alan (my best friend in college). His parents are from Louisiana and this was his mom's recipe. We used to have poker parties all the time and this was one of our favorite things to serve. Popcorn is cheap, so we made a lot of different flavored popcorns.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 3 quarts

• 3 quarts popped popcorn
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon lemon pepper

Directions:

1. In small bowl, place 1 quart hot popped corn; set aside.
2. In large bowl, pour butter over remaining popcorn.
3. Combine remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over buttered popped corn, tossing gently to coat.
4. Spread on 15x10-inch baking; sheet and bake at 300°F for 3 minutes, or until desired crispness.
5. Mix in reserved popcorn. Serve immediately or store in airtight container.

Great tasty snack. I wasn't too spicy like I thought it was going to be. Sent it with my husband to a get together, hopefully some will come home =)

I popped them with a hot air machine and used olive oil instead of butter, i also used dry crushed peppers instead of cayenne pepper... wonderful wonderful flavor :)
