This healthy homemade popcorn uses shredded parmesan, butter and freshly popped popcorn for a healthy treat.
My husband makes the best popcorn. He cooks it on the stove top and layers it with salted butter and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
By cooking it at home, you have more control over the quality of the ingredients you use, which really matters when it comes to popcorn. Typical movie theater popcorn uses GMO corn, inflammatory seed oils, partially hydrogenated soybean oil and other questionable ingredients. Plus, if you’re cooking it in the microwave, you can expose yourself to microplastics and PFAS (also known as “forever chemicals”).
Trust me, once you try this popcorn you’ll never go back to the less healthy alternative.

Homemade Healthy Popcorn
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and popcorn kernels. Cover and allow the kernels to cook, shaking the pan every 30 seconds or so to prevent sticking. You’ll start to hear a lot of popping kernels in a few minutes.
- Once you hear the popcorn kernels popping less often (only about one pop per couple of seconds), remove the popcorn from the heat.
- Uncover and pour into a large bowl. Top with finely shredded parmesan and a pinch of salt.
