- 1 clove garlic freshly minced
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary fresh preferred
- 3 tablespoons canola oil for popping
- 1/3 cup popcorn high-quality kernels

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: popcorn kernels, butter, garlic, rosemary, and Parmesan cheese.
- Heat the canola oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels and cover. Wait for them to pop to indicate the oil is ready, then add the remaining kernels in an even layer and cover again.
- Shake the pot gently back and forth over the heat to prevent burning and ensure even popping. Keep shaking until popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops.
- While the popcorn pops, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and rosemary, allowing to infuse for about 1-2 minutes without browning the garlic.
- Once popped, pour the popcorn into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the garlic rosemary butter over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat.
- Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the popcorn while tossing to distribute evenly. Add salt to taste and mix well.
- Transfer the popcorn to a serving bowl or individual bags and enjoy warm!
