Rosemary Parmesan Popcorn

For anyone who'd rather go savory than sweet on movie night: Mediterranean, elegant, with a nutty-salty parmesan flavor.

⏱ 10 min 👩‍🍳 Easy 🍽 4 servings

Feels like a good aperitivo - and it's ready in 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 4 tbsp olive oil (for popping and the topping)
  • 2/3 cup finely grated parmesan
  • 1 bunch fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pop the kernels in olive oil - that builds in the Mediterranean note from the start.
  2. Finely chop the fresh rosemary and mix with 2 tbsp of warm olive oil, letting it sit briefly.
  3. Pour the rosemary oil over the warm popcorn.
  4. Sprinkle with parmesan and toss well so the cheese softens slightly and sticks.
  5. Season with pepper to taste.

Tips & Variations

  • For a spicier note, add a crushed garlic clove to the rosemary oil.
  • Vegan version: swap the parmesan for nutritional yeast.
