Ingredients

2 tablespoons (dried) Basil leaves
2 tablespoons (grated) Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon (finely ground) Pine nuts
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon Salt
0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the dried basil, grated Parmesan cheese, finely ground pine nuts, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined.

Step 2

Add the teaspoon of olive oil to the mixture and stir until it forms a slightly clumpy texture. The olive oil will help the seasoning stick to the popcorn.

Step 3

Prepare freshly-popped popcorn (about 8 cups) using your preferred method (air-popped, stovetop, or microwave).

Step 4

While the popcorn is still hot, drizzle with melted butter or a touch of additional olive oil to help the seasoning stick.

Step 5

Sprinkle the pesto seasoning mix evenly over the popcorn, tossing gently to ensure thorough coating.

Step 6

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, Italian-inspired snack!
