This flavorful Zaatar Popcorn is a delicious twist on the classic snack. Freshly popped kernels are drizzled with olive oil and tossed in a savory zaatar seasoning, creating a light and herby treat that's perfect for movie nights or anytime snacking.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon zaatar seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Pop the Corn: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels, cover the pot, and shake occasionally as the kernels begin to pop. Continue shaking the pot gently until the popping slows down, then remove from heat.
- Season the Popcorn: In a small bowl, mix the zaatar seasoning and salt. Drizzle the remaining olive oil (or melted butter) over the freshly popped popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
- Add Zaatar: Sprinkle the zaatar mixture over the popcorn, tossing it well to ensure the seasoning is distributed.
