Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
½ cup popcorn kernels
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the seasoning

¼ cup unflavored whey protein powder
3 tbsp cheddar cheese powder
1 tsp jalapeño powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp fine salt
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, cheddar cheese powder, jalapeño powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne, if using, until evenly combined. Set aside.
2
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 3 kernels, cover with the lid, and wait until all 3 have popped — this signals the oil is ready.
