Steps:
- Place 1 sprig rosemary and smashed garlic clove in the bottom of a small saucepan. Pour olive oil on top and set on stove over low heat. Stir in garlic salt and black pepper, to taste. Heat until very warm but not simmering. Turn off heat and allow to sit while popping the popcorn.
- To pop 6 cups of popcorn at a time in the microwave, pour 1/4 cup popcorn kernels in a clean paper lunch sack (I use a 12 3/8 X 6 1/8 X 4" brown paper lunch bag). Fold over the top several times. Microwave on high until there is a 2-second pause between pops (all microwaves vary, but this will probably take around 2 minutes, give or take 30 seconds). Shake the bag so that any unpopped kernels roll to one corner. Tear a tiny hole in that corner and shake out kernels. Pour popped popcorn into a large bowl. Repeat entire process for a total of 12 cups popcorn.
- Pull leaves from second sprig of rosemary and finely mince. Set aside.
- Remove rosemary sprig and garlic clove from the warmed olive oil. Drizzle olive oil over popped popcorn and toss to coat. Sprinkle popcorn with grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon fresh minced rosemary (more or less, to taste), and additional garlic salt and black pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

PECORINO AND ROSEMARY POPCORN
The olive oil is a dominant flavor here, so use good-quality oil. How can rosemary be so close to perfection and yet hint at cough syrup at the same time? The trick to excluding the medicinal flavor is to not use the stems, and to not cook rosemary for too long in general. You could substitute fried sage or thyme here, too. Any hearty herb would do. Don't buy aged cheese. A nice salty pecorino or even Parmigiano-Reggiano is great.

Steps:
- Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, gently warm 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the rosemary and gently pan-fry it until the "needles" turn light brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary. Stem the rosemary, dropping the needles onto a paper towel. Discard the stems.
- In a large pot fitted with a lid, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Turn the heat to medium. Add the popcorn kernels, then cover and cook, shaking the pot every 30 seconds, until the popcorn is popped, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Spread the popcorn in a single layer on the sheet tray. Season to taste with salt. Grate the pecorino all over the popcorn. Sprinkle on the fried rosemary needles. (For a more intense rosemary flavor, you can also drizzle on some of the oil the rosemary was fried in.) Toss and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with more grated pecorino.

Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary will give your popcorn a more vibrant flavor than dried rosemary.
- Infuse the oil slowly: Heating the oil over low heat will allow the rosemary to infuse the oil without burning.
- Don't overcrowd the popcorn: If you overcrowd the popcorn, it will not pop evenly and will be more likely to burn.
- Season the popcorn immediately: Seasoning the popcorn immediately after it is popped will help the seasonings to stick.
