Ingredients
4tbspolive oil,or enough to coat the bottom of the pan
½cuppopcorn kernels,jumbo
½cupParmesan cheese,grated
1tbspsalt
1tspItalian seasoning,optional, store-bought or homemade
Preparation
Add oil to a large metal stockpot over medium-high heat. Place 3 to 4 individual kernels in the pan and cover.
Once they pop, uncover the pan and add in the rest of the kernels so that they form a single layer on the bottom of the pan.
Cover, and give the pot a shake so that they all get coated with the oil.
Once the popcorn kernels start popping furiously, give the pot a good shake every 15 seconds or so to help the un-popped kernels fall to the bottom, which prevents burning.
When the popping dies down, immediately pour the popcorn into a large bowl, and sprinkle with the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and salt. Toss to combine.
Serve and enjoy!
