Directions
Whisk the truffle oil, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese together in a heatproof bowl. Next, pop the microwave popcorn according to the package instructions—usually on high until the popping slows down to about two seconds between pops. Carefully open the hot bag (watch out for steam!) and pour the popcorn into your bowl. Give it a good toss with the truffle mixture so every bite is flavorful. Finally, sprinkle with sea salt to taste, and enjoy your fancy, homemade snack!
Best Serving Ideas
Serve warm in a large bowl for sharing during movie nights or parties. It pairs wonderfully with a crisp white wine or a light sparkling drink. You can also add grated Parmesan on top for an extra layer of taste.
Storing This Dish
Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration as it can make the popcorn lose its crispness. For best flavor, enjoy within two days of making.
