Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons cheddar cheese powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and 2-3 test popcorn kernels.
Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.
Gently shake the pot back and forth over the heat to ensure even popping and prevent burning. Continue until the popping slows down to about 2-3 seconds between pops.
Remove the pot from heat and pour the freshly popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika over the popcorn. Toss again to evenly distribute the cheesy coating and seasonings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cheesy popcorn while warm!
