Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pop the Popcorn

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it with a lid.

  2. 2

    Wait for the Kernels to Pop

    Shake the pot gently to ensure even heating. After a few minutes, you'll hear the kernels start popping. Keep shaking the pot occasionally until the popping slows down to about 2 seconds between pops.

  3. 3

    Remove from Heat

    Once the popping has slowed, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a minute to allow any remaining kernels to pop.

  4. 4

    Season the Popcorn

    Carefully remove the lid (watch out for steam) and transfer the popcorn to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the popcorn.

  5. 5

    Add Parmesan Cheese

    While the popcorn is still warm, add the grated Parmesan cheese and toss everything together until the popcorn is evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If using, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the popcorn for a burst of color and additional flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your garlic Parmesan popcorn!
