Ingredients
2tablespoonscooking oil
½ cuppopcorn kernels
2 tablespoonspesto
2ouncesgrated parmesan cheese
Sea salt, to taste
Instructions
Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add 2-3 popcorn kernels and cover the pot.
2 tablespoons cooking oil, ½ cup popcorn kernels
When you hear the first popcorn kernel pop, add the rest of the kernels and put the lid back onto the pot. Once the popcorn starts popping, gently shake the pot back and forth on the element - this helps prevent the popcorn from burning. When the popcorn stops popping, immediately remove the pot from the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
Drizzle the pesto over the popcorn, add the parmesan cheese, a sprinkle of salt, and toss to coat.
