Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 2 or 3 popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid.
Once the test kernels pop, quickly remove them and add the 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover the pot with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to let steam escape.
Shake the pot gently while the popcorn pops, about 2-3 minutes, until popping slows to 1-2 seconds between pops. Immediately remove the pot from heat.
Melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
Drizzle the melted butter over the warm popcorn, and toss to coat evenly.
Add 1/2 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the popcorn. Toss thoroughly to combine.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your Black Pepper and Parm Cheesy Popcorn!
