Indulge in the tantalizing fusion of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors with our Chili Lime Popcorn. This delightful snack combines the classic taste of popcorn with a unique blend of chili powder, lime zest, and a hint of cayenne pepper.
In this article, we present two irresistible variations of Chili Lime Popcorn: a classic stovetop method and an innovative air fryer technique. Both methods yield crispy, flavorful popcorn kernels coated in a zesty chili lime seasoning that will tantalize your taste buds.
Our classic stovetop recipe takes you through the simple steps of popping popcorn kernels in a saucepan with oil. Once the popcorn is ready, we introduce the magic of chili powder, lime zest, salt, and cayenne pepper, tossing the popcorn until every kernel is evenly coated.

With just a few tablespoons of oil and the same flavorful seasoning blend, you can create light and airy chili lime popcorn in your air fryer. This method not only reduces fat content but also ensures a perfectly crispy texture.
Whether you're a fan of the classic stovetop technique or the convenience of an air fryer, our Chili Lime Popcorn recipes are sure to elevate your snacking experience. So grab your popcorn kernels and get ready to embark on a culinary adventure that will leave you craving more.
