Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the salt, thyme, basil, marjoram, and dried onion flakes. Stir well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed.
  2. Pop the corn kernels using your preferred method (stovetop, air popper, or microwave) until fully popped.
  3. Place the popped corn in a large bowl. If desired, drizzle with a small amount of melted butter or oil to help the seasoning adhere, though it can be enjoyed dry for a lighter snack.
  4. Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat all pieces thoroughly.
  5. Serve immediately while the popcorn is still warm and crispy.
