COOL RANCH RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the ranch dressing mix, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 3-4 popcorn kernels and cover with the lid. Once they pop, add the rest of the kernels and cover, shaking every 10 seconds, until they begin pop. Once the pops are more than 3 seconds apart, turn off the heat and let sit for 15 seconds to allow any final kernels to pop.
• Uncover and drizzle the olive oil over the popcorn. Carefully toss to coat.
• Sprinkle the cool ranch spice mixture over the popcorn and stir to coat evenly.
• Transfer to a bowl and eat immediately, or spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and let cool completely before storing in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, chives, ground onion, ground garlic, and paprika. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, make tablespoon-sized piles of cheddar cheese. Gently pat each down to flatten, then sprinkle each with the ranch mixture. Bake until crispy and golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before transferring to serving dish.
