This Chili Popcorn Recipe is very simple to make, tastes delicious, and perfect low fat diet. Moreover, when you think of popcorn, you may think of the buttery movie-theater variety - heavy on trans fats and calories. However, you can make popcorn in your own home that tastes just as good – with some extra chili. For munching anytime, this savory snack is a fun alternative to popcorn with lots of salt and butter. It gets nice zip from a coating of chili powder, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
