Description

Enjoy a quick and delicious snack with this Homemade Parmesan Garlic Popcorn recipe. Lightly seasoned with savory Parmesan, garlic, and parsley, this popcorn is perfect for movie nights or anytime you crave a flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn

  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil (plus more for dressing)
  • 2 Tablespoons popcorn kernels

Seasoning

  • 1 Tablespoon ground Parmesan cheese (canned)
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil and add kernels: Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a large pot (3 quarts or larger) over medium heat. Pour in 2 tablespoons of popcorn kernels and cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
  2. Pop the popcorn: Shake the pot gently back and forth every few minutes to keep the kernels moving and prevent burning. Continue cooking until the popping slows down and most kernels have popped, about 7 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the seasoning: While the popcorn is cooking, combine 1 tablespoon of ground Parmesan cheese, 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper in a bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning to your preference.
  4. Dress and season the popcorn: Once the popcorn is ready, drizzle approximately 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil evenly over it. Toss to coat the popcorn lightly without making it soggy. Immediately sprinkle the prepared seasoning mixture over the popcorn and stir to ensure even coating.
  5. Serve: Serve the flavored popcorn immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • A fast and easy homemade popcorn snack.
  • Adjust garlic and Parmesan quantities to taste.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for a more intense flavor if preferred.
  • Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
