Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Popcorn kernels
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
Place the olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat and add the sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Allow the rosemary to steep in the oil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to let the oil overheat or smoke.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rosemary-infused oil cool. Take out the rosemary sprigs and discard them.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, add 2 tablespoons of the rosemary-infused oil and heat over medium-high heat.
Add a few popcorn kernels to the pot, cover with the lid, and wait for them to pop. This indicates the oil is at the right temperature.
Once the test kernels have popped, add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer. Cover the pot with the lid, leaving a small crack to allow steam to escape.
Shake the pot regularly to prevent the kernels from burning. Continue until popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops, then remove the pot from heat.
Transfer the freshly popped popcorn to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the remaining rosemary-infused oil over the popcorn, tossing well to coat evenly. Add the salt and optionally melted butter for extra richness, then toss again.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant, savory rosemary-infused popcorn!
