Cheesy Herbed Popcorn
A healthy microwave popcorn recipe, with toppings that taste gourmet!
Servings: 2 people
Calories: 151kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup popcorn
- 1/3 cup shaved or grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Add the popcorn to a glass oven safe dish with a lid. Cover, and microwave for 3-6 minutes (depending on your microwave). Listen, and as the popping slows, take it out before it burns.
- THE GLASS DISH GETS VERY HOT IN THE MICROWAVE! (I'm "yelling" that because I've burnt myself maybe more than once taking the glass dish out of the microwave).
- Pour the popcorn in a bowl. Top with parmesan, and sprinkle on the italian seasoning and salt.
- Put it back in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to melt the cheese. This helps the seasonings stick to the popcorn, and also makes the cheese crunchy.
Notes
WARNING: I have microwaved popcorn using this method many times and never had any problems. However, when I made popcorn for these photos, I didn't pop enough, and added more popcorn to the HOT glass dish, and put it back in the microwave for another 5 minutes.
After heating the glass dish up twice (it gets very hot!), it shattered when I took it out. This will not happen if you only heat it up once.
