Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add 3-4 popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid. Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels into the pot in an even layer.
Cover the pot with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Shake the pot occasionally to keep the kernels from burning.
Once the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and transfer the popcorn into a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden (be careful not to burn the garlic).
Remove the butter mixture from heat and stir in the garlic powder and salt.
Pour the garlic butter mixture over the popcorn and toss well to coat evenly.
If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for an extra pop of flavor and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Super Garlic Butter Flavored Popcorn!
