Pop Goes the Rosemary: Smoky Stovetop Popcorn

Grab this

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, finely crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Do this

1. Mix the smoked paprika, rosemary, garlic powder, salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
2. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and three popcorn kernels to a large heavy pot. Cover and heat over medium-high until the test kernels pop.
3. Pour in the remaining kernels, cover the pot and gently shake it back and forth over the burner. Keep shaking every few seconds as the popping speeds up.
4. When there are about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and carefully lift the lid away from your face.
5. Drizzle the popcorn with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle over the seasoning mixture and toss well. Taste and adjust the salt before serving.
