Ingredients

  • 16 cups popped popcorn either air/oil pop it or use about 2 bags of plain or salted microwave popcorn
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or garlic flavored olive oil
  • 2-3 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 clove minced garlic optional
  • ½ cup grated parmesan freshly grated or canned, but don’t use pre-shredded
  • additional salt to taste be careful if you’re using salted popcorn
  • fresh coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Pop the popcorn and place in a very large bowl. Evenly sprinkle the hot popcorn with the grated parmesan and toss to combine, then drizzle the rosemary olive oil over the popcorn. Season generously to taste with fresh coarsely ground black pepper and, if desired, add some additional salt. This actually tastes better when it’s been sitting for a few minutes, so let it hang out for 5-10 minutes before serving (or eat it right away, no biggie). Makes 4 4-cup servings.
