To make Homemade Parmesan Garlic Popcorn, first pop the popcorn. I like to do this on the stove by adding the kernels and some oil in a large stock pot. Heat over medium heat and let the popping begin! It only takes around 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile make the seasoning by combining the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, parsley, black pepper, and salt. Adjust the flavor to taste. When the popcorn is ready, drizzle the popcorn with a little oil so that the seasoning sticks, stir to coat, add the Parmesan mixture, and stir again.
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Popcorn
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil (plus more for dressing)
- 2 Tablespoons popcorn kernels
- 3/4 teaspoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Cook the popcorn as per package directions, or as follows: Add the oil to a large, 3 quart or larger pot over medium heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover, with the lid ajar.
- Shake the pot back and forth every few minutes. Remove from the heat when the popping has slowed and most kernels are popped, approximately 7 minutes. Set aside.
- While the popcorn is popping, make the seasoning mixture by combining the powdered sugar and all of the spices together. Mix and adjust seasoning based on your preference.
- When ready to serve, lightly drizzle the popcorn with approximately 1 teaspoon of oil. Just enough to wet the popcorn without it getting greasy or soggy. Stir to coat. Immediately sprinkle the seasoning on the popcorn and stir again to coat. Serve immediately.
