The finger-licking spices from a barbeque flavored potato chip is a special treat usually enjoyed during large picnics or other social gatherings. Although I typically do not purchase these chips as a regular snack for our family, I not-so-secretly love to eat them when Im at a party. I find the seasonings to be the perfect balance of salty-sweet and spice. The flavoring on those chips is a guilty pleasure I indulge in from time to time.
Using those potato chips as inspiration, Ive put together a barbeque spice blend to season air-popped popcorn with. Instead of using butter to help the seasonings adhere to the kernels, I prefer to use grape seed oil for its light, clean, neutral taste. It is also a great source of polyunsaturated fat.
If youre looking for a tasty snack to make at home, this recipe would make a great project for you and your children to make together in the kitchen. Feel free to add a little more or less of any of the spices listed to make your own unique blend of barbeque flavoring.
Lastly, this recipe is a great one to serve family and friends with wheat, egg, dairy, soy, and nut allergies. Enjoy!
