Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot with a lid over medium heat.
Add the rosemary sprigs to the oil and let them sizzle for 1-2 minutes to infuse the oil with the rosemary flavor. Remove the sprigs and discard.
Add the popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer.
Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent the kernels from burning.
Once the popping slows down (about 2-3 seconds between pops), remove the pot from the heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
In a small pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil with the garlic powder and salt over low heat until combined. (You may also melt 1 tablespoon of butter along with this step for added richness, if desired.)
Drizzle the flavored oil over the popcorn and toss well to coat evenly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade rosemary popcorn!
