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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the pot, then place 3 popcorn kernels into the oil to test for readiness.
Step 3
Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels to the pot in an even layer and cover with a lid.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix dried thyme, rosemary, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the herb seasoning blend.
Step 7
Drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the herb seasoning blend over the buttered popcorn, tossing again to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your fragrant and savory Herbed Popcorn!
