Parmesan Popcorn

Did you know that popcorn is a whole grain?  If you’re not ordering a large bucket of butter-soaked kernels at the movie theater, popcorn actually makes for a really healthy snack.  Try air-popping your own popcorn and top it with your own favorite mix of healthy flavoring.  I like the Parmesan cheese flavoring in this recipe because it takes very little cheese to give the popcorn a robust flavor.

What’s your favorite healthy popcorn recipe? 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup popcorn kernels

Non-fat olive oil cooking spray

1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

 Directions

Use an air popper to freshly pop ½ cup popcorn kernels into a bowl.  Immediately spray lightly with cooking spray and toss with Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.  Enjoy a delicious, whole grain afternoon snack!
