Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
  • 6 slices pickled jalapeno peppers, drained, or more to taste
  • ⅓ cup popcorn kernels
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix

Directions

1

Step 1Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced jalapenos; cook and stir until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a small plate with a slotted spoon.

Step 2Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Put 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover until popped; add remaining kernels to the saucepan in an even layer. Cover and remove from heat, about 30 seconds. Return to heat and gently shake pan back and forth over the burner until popping slows to several seconds between pops, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 3Pour melted butter evenly over popcorn. Lightly sprinkle ranch dressing mix over popcorn; mix to combine. Crumble jalapeno slices and mix in.
