OLIVE OIL POPCORN

Olive Oil Popcorn image

Provided by Daphne Brogdon

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup popcorn kernels
Kosher salt

Steps:

Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover the pot, and cook until popped, shaking the pot occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and drizzle the popcorn with the remaining olive oil while stirring. Season with salt and then give one final stir. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Tips:

Choose the right popcorn kernels: Not all popcorn kernels are created equal. For the best results, use non-GMO popcorn kernels that are specifically designed for microwaving.
Use a large enough bowl: The popcorn will expand as it pops, so make sure you use a bowl that is large enough to accommodate the expansion.
Don't overcrowd the bowl: If you overcrowd the bowl, the popcorn will not pop evenly.
Add olive oil and salt: Olive oil and salt are essential for flavoring the popcorn. Add them to the bowl before microwaving.
Microwave the popcorn in short bursts: Microwave the popcorn in short bursts of 30 seconds, shaking the bowl in between each burst. This will help prevent the popcorn from burning.
Listen for the popping to slow down: Once the popping slows down to a few seconds between pops, stop microwaving the popcorn. Overcooking will make the popcorn tough and chewy.
Let the popcorn cool slightly before serving: Let the popcorn cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

This olive oil microwave popcorn recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy snack. The popcorn is light and fluffy, with a slightly salty and buttery flavor. It is a great alternative to store-bought popcorn, which is often loaded with unhealthy fats and chemicals. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying snack that is good for you, too.
