Glazed Lemon and Poppy Seed Popcorn

Courtesy of The Popcorn Board 12 Servings • 5 Min. Prep Time • 20 Min. Cook Time
Ingredients
4 qt. unbuttered and unsalted popcorn (air popped)
1 egg white
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. lemon extract
2 tsp. lemon zest
1 tsp. poppy seeds

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil sprayed with cooking spray). Spread popcorn onto prepared baking sheet.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, sugar, salt and lemon extract until foamy. Pour over popcorn and toss to coat evenly.

3. Bake 20 min., stirring once midway through baking time. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Note: The use of egg white helps the flavors adhere to the popcorn, without adding fat through the more traditional use of oils.

Yield: 4 quarts
