Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popping corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Drop in 2 popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Wait until both kernels pop; this indicates the oil is hot enough.
Remove the 2 popped kernels and add the rest of the popping corn kernels to the pot. Cover with a lid and shake the pot gently to ensure the kernels are evenly coated in oil.
Reduce the heat slightly to prevent burning. As the popcorn pops, continue to shake the pot occasionally to prevent scorching.
Once popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Keep the lid on to catch any final pops.
Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Stir in the herbes de Provence, garlic powder, fine sea salt, and black pepper.
Transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoned butter over the popcorn and toss thoroughly to coat.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the popcorn and toss again to distribute the cheese evenly.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor. Enjoy your Frenchy Popcorn with a favorite beverage or movie!
