Glazed Lemon and Poppy Seed Popcorn
Sweet, tangy, light and delicious, try this lemony confection poolside or at a picnic.
Yield: 4 quarts
Ingredients
- 4 quarts unbuttered and unsalted popcorn (air popped)
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil sprayed with cooking spray). Spread popcorn onto prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, sugar, salt and lemon extract until foamy. Pour over popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
- Bake 20 minutes, stirring once midway through baking time. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Tip:
- The use of egg white helps the flavors adhere to the popcorn, without adding fat through the more traditional use of oils.
