Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor for this recipe. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the popcorn: When you're popping the popcorn, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the popcorn from popping evenly and will result in some kernels being unpopped.
- Use a large bowl: When you're mixing the popcorn with the herbs and oil, use a large bowl. This will help to ensure that all of the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Serve immediately: This popcorn is best served immediately after it's made. The herbs and oil will start to lose their flavor if the popcorn is left to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This savory herb popcorn is a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. It's also a healthy alternative to traditional popcorn, as it is made with olive oil and fresh herbs. If you're looking for a tasty and nutritious snack, this popcorn is a great option.
