A flavorful and spicy twist on classic party popcorn, combining freshly grated Parmesan cheese with a bold blend of cayenne pepper, paprika, and fine salt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (not required if air popping with a popcorn maker)
  • ½ cup popping corn
  • Olive oil spray
  • ½ to ⅔ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
  • ¾ tsp fine salt (table salt recommended)
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (or chili, adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp paprika (optional, for extra color)

Instructions

  1. Use either a popcorn maker or the stovetop method. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Drop in a few kernels; if they rotate slowly, the oil is hot enough.
  3. Add the remaining popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid. Shake gently every now and then as the popcorn pops.
  4. Once the popping slows down and you can count to three between pops, take the pot off the stove and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
  5. In a small bowl, combine fine salt, cayenne pepper, and paprika, mixing well.
  6. Place one third of the popcorn in a large serving bowl. Spray generously with olive oil, then sprinkle with one third of the Parmesan cheese and one third of the spice mix. Repeat this process two more times without tossing.
  7. The popcorn flavors will mix naturally as it is enjoyed. Serve immediately for best freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • This popcorn is best served fresh.
    • <li.Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
