Ingredients:

• popcorn kernels (80g)

• chili powder (5g)
• sea salt (3g)

Kitchen Tools:

• popcorn maker
• frying pan

First, pop the popcorn kernels in a popcorn maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. While the popcorn is popping, cook the bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and chop it into small pieces.

In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup, chili powder, and sea salt over low heat until the mixture is well combined. Drizzle the spicy maple syrup over the popped popcorn and toss to coat evenly. Spread the coated popcorn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces over the popcorn and place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the popcorn is crispy and the flavors have melded together.

Once the Spicy Maple Bacon Popcorn is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The combination of sweet maple syrup, spicy chili powder, salty bacon, and crunchy popcorn is a flavor explosion in every bite!
