everything bagel popcorn
I’m not the kind of person who can eat popcorn — or any snack, for that matter — as a meal (homegirl needs real food for breakfast, lunch and dinner) but let me tell you, I can definitely pack it in between those times. Sometimes I eat it plain, sometimes I eat it with a little butter and salt, sometimes I toss it with melted peanut butter and/or chocolate and now, I’m going to be eating it like this. Forever and ever. And ever.
My obsession with everything bagels goes way back (back to the dark ages of photography as well, apparently. Apologies to your eyes), so it’s no surprise that I’m a bit smitten with this combination. There are crumbled-up bagel chips, sesame seeds, garlic, onion and caraway seeds in there. Oh, and butter and salt. I mean… when you’ve got those players in the mix, it just doesn’t get much better.
Because I’m posting this recipe, it should come as no surprise that, in addition to waffles and doughnuts, everything bagels and popcorn have been serious cravings for me this trimester. I’m carb-loading in preparation for birth or something. Or maybe baby girl just knows what tastes good, and between her, me and my happy tastebuds, we’re all in full support of these food choices. (Don’t worry, I’ve been balancing it all out with salads, carrots, blueberries and yoga. And ice cream.) We’re in extra-full support of this recipe, too, because it requires about, oh, T-minus seven minutes to throw together. And about two of those minutes are spent staring at butter melting on the stovetop and/or staring at the microwave waiting for the popcorn to be done. Just a couple of recent hobbies I’ve acquired.
Side note: It really comes in handy to leave the whole bowlful of this popcorn on the counter so you can grab handfuls as you walk by. A little pro tip for ya there.

Bagel chips rule. I would snack on this for hours!
This totally looks like the kind of snack that I would just keep shoving handfuls of it into my mouth until it was gone…AKA the best kind of snack. It looks so good!! Pinned 🙂
And to think, these are also low carb! So they’re basically like bagels without all the carb stress. 😛
Popcorn of all flavors are high in my book-love this combo!
Oh yes. Yes, yes, and more yes! Everything bagels are my favorite and popcorn is a daily snack (sometimes a couple bags for dinner, no lie). This would brighten up my boring popcorn bowl for sure!

This is one thing I’ve never even thought of. I love everything bagels and popcorn. Together, I bet they’re unstoppable.
I think I am seriously in love with this! Seriously!!
Bagels and popcorn – never thought of it as a combo, but i’m loving it!
Love this recipe Stephanie! We’ve a big football game coming up in a couple weeks and this would be perfect party food for it! I love it!
Holy crunch! I am with you on needing meals in addition to snacks. I also love to leave snacks open on the counter as opposed to sitting down with a bowl of them. It makes me feel better that I have to work for my snack by walking back and forth.
This is simple and delish and perfect for Superbowl Sunday!
Omgggg I love everything about this!! Everything bagels are my obsession and I love that you created a popcorn flavor for it!
I am so, so glad that I got over my childhood hatred of everything bagels. They are the bomb.
And so is this popcorn! 🙂
You can just go ahead and feed me the same things you’re feeding that growing baby. We’re craving the same things.
That seems weirder than I wanted it to be…
I love this idea of adding bagel chips! Also love the one-step recipe (:
Ohhh! Baby girl is smart!!
This recipe is so smart for those afternoon snack cravings! I’m with you – I need food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Real food. Not munchies for meals. Food. 🙂
