Tips:

  • Use fresh popcorn kernels for the best results. Avoid using pre-popped popcorn or microwave popcorn, as these will not produce the same light and fluffy texture.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat until it is shimmering. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Add the popcorn kernels to the oil and shake the pan constantly. This will help to ensure that all of the kernels are evenly coated with oil and that they pop evenly.
  • Once the popcorn starts to pop, reduce the heat to low and continue shaking the pan. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Once the popping slows down to a couple of seconds between pops, remove the pan from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
  • Immediately toss the popcorn with the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt. This will help to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  • Serve the popcorn immediately while it is still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Parmesan garlic popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and fluffy, with a cheesy and garlicky flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack for a party or a movie night, or you are simply looking for a healthier alternative to chips, Parmesan garlic popcorn is the perfect choice.
