Ingredients
  

Popcorn Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
Herb Butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped For the best flavor, use fresh herbs.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste Salt Start with a little and add more as necessary.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by popping your popcorn kernels. You can do this in an air popper, on the stovetop, or in the microwave. If using the stovetop, heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large pot, add the kernels, cover, and shake occasionally until the popping slows. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
Mixing
  1. Once the butter is melted, stir in the chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic powder, and salt. Let the herb mixture simmer for a minute or two, allowing the flavors to infuse.
  2. In a large bowl, pour the freshly popped popcorn, then drizzle the savory herb butter mixture over the top. Toss gently with a large spoon until the popcorn is evenly coated.
Serving
  1. Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your delightful gourmet snack!

Notes

For the best flavor, use freshly chopped herbs. Experiment with different herb combinations like basil or dill. Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, but enjoy within a day for the best taste.
