How the FUCK do you make buttered and salted popcorn without

Don't butter and salt it, dummy

Artificial butter flavoring and a salt substitute.

That said, there's nothing wrong with eating a reasonable amount of butter and salt.

I don't know why people are so worried about eating "healthy food" as if they were planning to devour a dozen cheeseburgers.

Leave out the popcorn. Just let a bit of salted butter melt on your tongue.

Dont use butter for starters

Butter salt is far superior and doesn't leave your popcorn soggy

>>8699356
use margarine and nusalt

>>8699356
Put nutritional yeast and paprika on it instead

>>8699356
Use melted whipped butter

Eat it once a month

Find something else that has butter and salt in your meals that day, and have less of it so you can have it on the popcorn.

Low fat butter flavour "oil" with fine ground salt.

>Put it in the microwave on the popcorn setting

Real fucking easy

>How the FUCK do you make buttered and salted popcorn without it being massively unhealthy?
If you have cardiovascular disease, you avoid salt. Everyone else can have it, and it isn't unhealthy. Fact.

If you make your popcorn in a skillet, versus an air popper, you can see that you only use 1-2Tbsp of oil in a 6qt pot of popcorn. Divy that up and you aren't in such a bad amount of fat per serving there. Use some buttery-tasting popcorn oil and you go even further on that account.

Then you use real butter melted and drizzled when your bowl is 1/2 full, and then again on top. Use finely ground salt, so you can use less and still taste it.

Myself? I use chili oil, that I make on the spot. I slice a dried ancho or two with scissors into thin rings, and warm up in a small pan with olive oil til crispy and oil is red. I drizzle this flavorful olive oil over my popcorn with the rings, and get some sweet-heat in some of my handfuls of popcorn. To mimic some of the salt, you can use lime zest, and a squeeze of lime (acid can hit some of the needs of salt). Then, just a bit of salt.

This. Just eat it in moderation. You could even have a small portion every day. It's only a problem if you get a king kong sized bucket 5 times a week.
