Photo: Savory Herb Popcorn Recipe
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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.

Burnt the bowl. I'll be scrubbing it for awhile. Too much mess and not worth it. Could not see what was going on underneath the foil. Was scared to death a kernnel was going to come flying at me through the foil and hit me in the eye. I tried it with a Caphalon pot with a sturdy glass cover I could hold down and it came out much much better.

I discovered that "WEBER" Roasted Garlic and Herb Seasoning is delicious on fresh ppped corn.
Be careful when using because there are chunks of herbs as well as salt in it and it is easy to get too much salt.
I called the company to see if they made it without salt. ALL of their seasonings contain salt.
I also love fresh cracked black pepper on popcorn.

Hi Kindred, melt your butter before you pop your popcorn. I find it needs to cool down just a bit and then it won't turn your corn into little gummy bits of buttery popcorn. Also drizzle the butter. I use a plastic scraper to dribble butter on the corn, then stir the corn using a 'folding motion' and I just keep repeating until the butter is all gone. No wilt and nicely distributed butter.
