Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 garlic crushed and peeled, cloves
- 1 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons herbes de provence or dried herbs of your choice
- ¼ teaspoon celery seed
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Choose a large pan with a tight fitting lid. Over medium heat, melt the butter with the garlic cloves. Allow the garlic to cook slowly with the butter for 3-4 minutes until the butter is infused with the garlic.
- Remove the garlic cloves and discard.
- Add the oil and increase the heat to medium high.
- Add the popcorn and cover the pan. As the popcorn pops, shake the pan occasionally to distribute the butter and to prevent the popcorn from burning.
- When most of the kernels have popped, remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle with herbs, celery seed, and salt.
- Replace the top and shake vigorously to distribute the herbs, celery seed, and salt throughout the popped corn.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- I highly recommend using loose kernels for the best results. However, if convenience is your priority, try using plain microwave popcorn and then season it with melted butter, garlic powder, and herb mixture for a similar, though slightly different, effect.
