This unique popcorn flavoring is a sure way to spice up your standard movie-watching snack. From the blog The Artful Desperado, the Vegan Sriracha Caramel Bacon Popcorn is a sweet and spicy take that despite its meat flavor is still free of animal by-products and safe for people with dietary restrictions. Of course, if you are not a vegan, you can substitute the vegan bacon for the real stuff.
If you are interested in trying this popcorn flavoring at home, you will need organic kernels plus sunflower or canola oil, sea salt, brown sugar, maple syrup, Sriracha hot sauce and shortening.
To season your vegan bacon, you will require ingredients including plain coconut chips, liquid aminos, smoked paprika, ground cumin and coriander.
