    Ingredients

    • 2 tsp lemon zest
    • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
    • 1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated
    • 2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels

    Directions

    It’s no secret we consume a lot of popcorn in my house. I’ve made my husband cut back to twice a week for a bit just because it was getting out of hand and summer is coming. Yes, it’s a healthier snack but not when you eat giant movie sized buckets almost every night.

    Lemon Parmesan Popcorn

    Ingredients

    Combine zest, pepper, salt, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in a small bowl.

    Heat oil in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add popcorn to oil in saucepan; cover and cook 2 minutes or until kernels begin to pop, shaking pan frequently. Continue cooking 1 minute, shaking pan constantly. When popping slows down, remove pan from heat. Let stand 1 minute or until all popping stops. Pour 6 cups popcorn into a large bowl; stir in half of cheese mixture. Stir in remaining 6 cups popcorn and remaining half of cheese mixture; toss to coat. Let stand 1 minute before serving.
