Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil divided into 2
  • ½ cup Popcorn kernels
  • tablespoon Zaatar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Place a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat until shimmering.
    Add 2–3 kernels to the pan. Once 1 or 2 pop, the oil is ready.
    2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Add the remaining popcorn kernels and stir to coat them evenly in the oil.
    Once a few start to pop, cover with a vented lid (leave it slightly ajar if there's no vent). Let the kernels pop.
    Once there's a 2-3 second gap between pops, remove the pan from the heat immediately.
    ½ cup Popcorn kernels
  • Transfer the popcorn to a bowl while still hot. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
    Sprinkle over the zaatar and salt, then toss well to coat evenly.
    Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
    1 tsp Salt, 1½ tbsp Zaatar
