Photo by Lynne Calamia
ACTIVE TIME: 11 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 11 minutes
Yield: 3 1/2 to 4 quarts

Software

  • 3 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 0.5 cup popcorn kernels
  • 1/2 teaspoon popcorn salt
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Procedure

  • Place the oil, popcorn, and salt in a 6-quart metal mixing bowl. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and poke 10 slits in the top with a knife.
  • Place the bowl over medium heat and shake constantly, using a pair of tongs to hold the bowl. Continue shaking until the popcorn finishes popping, approximately 3 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the heat and carefully remove the foil. Stir in any salt that is on the side of the bowl. Sprinkle the herbs on the popcorn and gently stir to coat.
  • Melt the butter in the microwave. Slowly drizzle over the popcorn, while spinning the bowl. Stir to combine. Serve immediately.
