Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons oil grapeseed, canola, vegetable oil (use a high heat oil)
  • 1/2 cup popocorn kernels
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/3 cup finely grated parmigiano reggiano classic parmesan is fine too
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Set a large pot over medium high heat. Add the oil and salt. Once oil is hot add the kernels. Cover pot with lid. Wearing heatproof gloves or hot pads, carefully shake the pot so that the kernels do not burn. 
  • When the popcorn has finished popping remove from heat. Transfer the popcorn to a serving bowl. Drizzle butter overtop and sprinkle cheese on the popcorn. Toss to coat. Season with salt & pepper.

Notes

I used the stovetop method for this recipe. If you'd rather not deal with cooking the popcorn kernels in a pot with oil, you can use an air popper.
