This Everything Bagel Popcorn Is, Well, Everything

Some flavor combinations just make sense. Everything bagel seasoning on popcorn is one of them! This combo is savory, crunchy, and pure perfection — especially when you make the popcorn on the Popper.

Now you can always sprinkle the ready-made kind over your popcorn and call it a day, but if you like taking things one step further like we do, try making the seasoning from scratch. It’s easier than you think, way more satisfying than store-bought, and healthier, too.

Check out our everything bagel popcorn recipe below to find out how:

Everything Bagel Popcorn Ingredients

• ½ cup kernels

• 2 tablespoons oil

• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

• 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds

• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds

• 2 tablespoons dried minced garlic

• 2 tablespoons dried minced onion

• 1 tablespoon flaky sea salt

Everything Bagel Popcorn Directions

Step 1: Make DIY Everything Bagel Seasoning

In a small bowl, mix poppy seeds, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and flaky sea salt until well combined. Set aside for later.

Step 2: Preheat

Set your stove to medium heat and let your Popsmith preheat for 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3: Pour Oil and Kernels

Pour oil into the Popper and drop 3 kernels. Add the remaining kernels when the first one pops, then cover the pot.

Step 4: Turn

Turn the Popper’s crank clockwise as the kernels pop to prevent burning. You don’t have to do this the entire time. A few cranks every couple of seconds will do the trick. 

Step 5: Remove

When popping slows to 1 to 2 seconds between pops, take the Popper off the heat and remove the lid.

Step 6: Combine

Gradually sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over your popcorn. Then put the lid back on and give it a few more turns or shakes to distribute the flavoring evenly.

Step 7: Serve

Pour the everything bagel popcorn into a huge bowl and enjoy!
