Now, let’s explore how to make flavor-packed popcorn with some of Garden Infuzions’ best-infused olive oils! 🍿🔥
How to Pop Popcorn with Infused Olive Oils
You can use infused olive oil to pop the kernels directly on the stovetop or air-pop the corn and drizzle the oil afterward for a fresh burst of flavor. Here’s how:
Stovetop Popping Method:
1️⃣ Heat 2-3 tbsp of Garden Infuzions infused olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. 2️⃣ Add ½ cup of popcorn kernels and cover with a lid. 3️⃣ Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. 4️⃣ Once the popping slows down, remove from heat and pour into a bowl. 5️⃣ Drizzle with an extra 1-2 tbsp of infused olive oil for enhanced flavor. 6️⃣ Toss and enjoy!
