Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flake
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed 3 quart pot with a lid. Add 3 kernels and move them around the pan. Once they have popped, the oil is hot enough to add the rest of the kernels to the pan. Place the lid on top. Holding the lid on the pan, shake every so often to keep the kernels from burning. Once the popping slows down to 3 seconds, turn off the heat. Carefully remove the lid (there will be steam), and transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Melt butter and mix in the sun-dried tomato oil. Pour over popcorn and toss to coat.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flake, and salt. Sprinkle over the popcorn and toss well. Divide into bowls, serve, and enjoy!
