Geminidrive 389 Posted February 23, 2013 A little popcorn never hurts. If I go to the theater I never put the OIL yuck (what they call butter) on the popcorn.....not a fan of wet oily popcorn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karee 8 Posted February 23, 2013 I LOVE those! Do you make yours with olive oil? That and Kosher salt is how I've made it' date=' but I'd love to know if you can forget the oil. Healthier.[/quote'] I've tried without oil and its like a dry roast and salt won't stick. My husband liked it with a little Johnny's seasoning or a little ranch packet flavoring. Also you can get "a hint of lime" powder and its great! Ohh and may I suggest trying coconut oil! It's a heart healthy oil and is complex so great for weight loss!

TheCurvyJones 721 Posted February 23, 2013 May I suggest what we do in our home - roasted garbanzo Beans. http://www.steamykit...anzo-beans.html We roast them until they are almost corn nut crunchy. We use different seasonings and my husband and kids love them more then popcorn now. I'm in mush foods so I can't have yet. I made a large batch for a community movie night and tons of people (and kids) raved about them. Oh and good source of Protein. Sounds YUMMY! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sumsuz68 53 Posted February 23, 2013 Olive oil is extremely healthy!! I heard in Weight Watchers years ago that when you cook at a certain degree the healthy goes away. Not sure if its true or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I roast mine for a long time too. Also make sure you dry them really good and oil use a little oil as these Beans hold moisture and take forever to dry out.

lcrutchfield 1 Posted February 24, 2013 Try Edamame! It's supposed to give popcorn cravings the boot! Edamame Popcorn SEPTEMBER 1, 2012 · 0 COMMENTS Some people are crazy popcorn lovers. If you’re like Borz, going to the movies is basically just a means of getting popcorn. Other people prefer not to have kernels stuck between their teeth for the next 20 days. If you love popcorn and want something healthier or hate popcorn and need your own movie snack, let me introduce you to edamame popcorn. Edamame Popcorn Serves 2 12 ounce package frozen edamame, de-shelled 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated Salt & pepper Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place frozen edamame into colander and rinse under cold Water to thaw. Spread strained edamame into a 9×13 baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan, salt and pepper. Bake in oven about 15 minutes, until cheese is golden brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, now I can see mixing them on baked edamame would make something like a crunchy corn nut. We got the following flavors: Thai, tandoori. Wasabi, apple pie,peach infusion. Hmmmm, sounds like an interesting new product idea for a more healthy corn nut with Protein. Now don't go taking my idea and making a 100 million dollars. Excuse me while I go file a patent.
