Truffle Oil Popcorn Delight (Printable Version)

A savory snack with popcorn enhanced by truffle oil, garlic, and Parmesan for a luxurious twist.

# What You'll Need:

→ Popcorn Base

01 - 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
02 - 2 tablespoons neutral oil (grapeseed or canola)

→ Flavorings

03 - 2 tablespoons truffle oil (white or black)
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
06 - 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
07 - 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Heat neutral oil in large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add 2-3 popcorn kernels and cover to test oil temperature.
02 - Once test kernels pop, add remaining popcorn kernels in even layer. Cover pot and shake occasionally to prevent burning.
03 - Listen for popping rate. Remove pot from heat when popping slows to approximately 2 seconds between pops.
04 - Immediately drizzle truffle oil evenly over hot popcorn. Sprinkle garlic powder and salt, then toss thoroughly to coat all kernels.
05 - Add grated Parmesan and parsley if using. Toss again until popcorn is evenly coated with all ingredients.
06 - Transfer to serving bowl and serve warm for optimal flavor.
