Recipes FAQ

Can I use microwave popcorn instead of popping my own kernels?

While you can use microwave popcorn, we recommend using plain popcorn kernels for the best flavor and texture.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

This recipe is best enjoyed immediately after it is made, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a day.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, you can use any type of grated cheese that you like. Cheddar, asiago, and Romano are all great options.

Recipe Tips

- Make sure your pot is large enough to accommodate the popped popcorn without overflowing. - Don't skip the step of tossing the popcorn in a mixing bowl - this ensures that every piece is coated in the cheese and spices. - If you prefer a lighter coating of cheese, you can reduce the amount of Parmesan or use a different type of cheese.
