Red Carpet Ready Truffle Parmesan Popcorn Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups of freshly popped corn (or more as desired)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 table spoon truffle oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• dash fresh ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon truffle salt

Instructions

1. First pop your corn. I pop mine using a stovetop method in a covered saucepan. I pop it in a small layer of coconut oil. It is lovely as is, if you are looking for a light and easy snack.
2. While waiting for corn to pop, mix olive oil and truffle oil together. As truffle oil is expensive, I like to blend it with olive oil to make it go farther. To further boost the truffle flavor, I add a pinch of truffle salt and stir mixture.
3. Once popcorn is popped, empty into a large bowl -- ideally large enough to have room to stir popcorn.
4. Drizzle truffle and olive oil mixture evenly among the bowl. Mix with wooden spoon.
5. Mix in 1 tablespoon of garlic powder. I prefer garlic powder over garlic salt because the cheese and truffle salt already contain enough sodium. Alternately, you can infuse minced fresh garlic into the truffle and olive oil. I find garlic powder works best with the popcorn texture.
6. Grate parmesan cheese directly into the top of the popcorn. Mix into the layers of popcorn. This is too taste, but I found about 1 tablespoon works for me -- slightly less for a lighter, lower sodium popcorn.
7. Grind fresh pepper into the popcorn to test and mix.
8. Enjoy! The flavors are strong so you may want to adapt to your own flavor preference.
