Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for popping)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Add two or three popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with a lid. When they pop, the pot is ready for the rest of the kernels.
Step 3
Add the rest of the popcorn kernels to the pot, cover, and shake the pot gently to distribute the oil.
Step 4
Allow the kernels to pop, shaking the pot every few seconds to prevent burning. Once the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat.
Step 5
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the fresh rosemary sprigs and let them infuse the butter for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Remove the rosemary sprigs and stir the orange zest into the melted butter.
Step 7
Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Drizzle the orange-rosemary butter over the popcorn, sprinkling with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Toss the popcorn thoroughly to coat it evenly with the butter and seasonings.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this aromatic and flavorful snack!
