Time 11m

Yield 3 1/2 to 4 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 ounces popcorn kernels, approximately 1/2 cup
1/2 teaspoon popcorn salt
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place the oil, popcorn and salt in a large, 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.

This popcorn is a bit too burnt. I think I left it on the stove for too long. Next time, I will be more careful. Other than that, the popcorn was delicious. The herbs and spices added a nice flavor.

This popcorn is a bit too dry. I think I didn't use enough oil when I was popping the popcorn. Next time, I will use more oil. Other than that, the popcorn was delicious. The herbs and spices added a nice flavor.

This popcorn is a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning. I would add more salt and pepper, and maybe some garlic powder or onion powder. Other than that, the popcorn was good.

This popcorn is a bit too spicy for my taste. I used the recommended amount of chili powder, but I think I would use less next time. Other than that, the popcorn was delicious. The herbs and cheese added a nice flavor.

This popcorn is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I had some basil, thyme, and rosemary that I needed to use up, so I made this popcorn. It turned out really well. The herbs added a nice flavor to the popcorn.
