Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons popcorn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon zest

Servings:
Instructions
  1. In a medium sized covered pot, add the oil and popcorn. Cover and place on a medium heat. Lift the pot and shake pan frequently while pan is heating. When the popping slows to less than a pop per second, remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. Using a grater or a micro-plane, grate the lemon peel (lemon zest) from two medium sized lemons. Place in a food processor.
  3. Add the salt, oregano, basil, cheese, garlic and melted butter to the food processor. Mix until blended, about 10 seconds. Pour over the popcorn and mix until popcorn is evenly covered. Transfer popcorn to a bowl and serve warm or room temperature.
  4. If leftover, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
