Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pot, then place 3 popcorn kernels into the oil to test for readiness.
Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer and cover with a lid.
Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even heating and to prevent the kernels from burning. Continue until the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Remove the pot from heat.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
In a small bowl, mix dried thyme, rosemary, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the herb seasoning blend.
Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
Sprinkle the herb seasoning blend over the buttered popcorn, tossing again to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant and savory Herbed Popcorn!
