Herbed Popcorn may sound kind of strange, but I promise you, it’s going to become a quick favorite. My love for popcorn runs deep. Not that overly salted orange and yellow movie theater popcorn, but the good stuff. Homemade is where its at when it comes to popcorn.
Did you know popcorn is a whole grain, low calorie, high fiber snack with a trace amounts of B vitamins, thiamin, niacin, and folate? It’s a perfect snack!
Who knew all of that was contained in those tiny little kernels? Bottom line is popcorn is dry and needs to have flavor to make it taste good. Here comes the good news: you don’t have to add extra fat and calories to enjoy this inherently healthy treat! Below is a yummy recipe that packs tons of flavor and a proper amount of good fat.
P.S. I always have a bag handy when I go to the movies:) This is also perfect to share for a night in!
