The secret to this recipe’s bold and addictive flavors lies in the pickled jalapeños and ranch seasoning. The pickled jalapeños add a tangy and spicy kick to the popcorn, while the ranch seasoning adds a savory and creamy flavor. We recommend using Trader Joe’s ranch seasoning for the best results, but you can also use your favorite brand or make your own seasoning blend at home.
One of the best things about this recipe is that you can easily customize it to your liking.

When it comes to serving your jalapeño popcorn, you can get creative and use a variety of containers and bowls. I love the idea of serving it in a cast iron pot, which not only looks stylish and rustic but also helps keep the popcorn warm and crispy. You can also serve it in paper cones, plastic buckets, or any other fun and festive containers that match the occasion.

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning (I recommend Trader Joe’s)
1/2 tbsp garlic powder
salt to taste
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pickled jalapeños to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and stir well to coat them in the jalapeño oil.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the kernels pop for about 3-5 minutes, or until the popping slows down. Shake the pot occasionally to make sure the kernels pop evenly.
Once the popping stops, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning over the popcorn and stir well to coat evenly.
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy!
