Healthy Stovetop Popcorn

One of my favorite snacks!

Quarter cup white popcorn seeds
Enough EVOO to cover bottom of pan

Once popped, sprinkle on oregano, pepper and basil leaves. Delicious!

EVOO is a bit more expensive than regular vegetable oil, but so much healthier. Also, making stovetop popcorn is so much cheaper--and lasts a lot longer.

    I always make our popcorn on the stove - so much better than microwave, taste and nutrition wise!

    Probably not as healthy but we like to make kettle corn on the stove top, which is adding a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon.

    You can also eliminate the calories from the oil altogether and pop the kernels in a brown paper lunch bag with the top folded over several times, and pop it in the microwave!
