Marmite popcorn

Serves: 6
Prep: 15
Cook: 15

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbs rice bran oil
  • 100g popping corn
  • 1 Tbs margarine
  • 1 Tbs Marmite™
  • 2 Tbs finely grated parmesan (33g)

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 150ºC fan bake and line a large oven tray with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan on medium-high. Add popping corn and shake the pan gently to coat kernels in oil. Cover with a lid. Shake the pan every 15-30 seconds, until virtually all the corn has popped - the pops should be 2-3 seconds apart at this point. Transfer to a large bowl.

  3. Step 3

    Place margarine in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Add

  4. Step 4

    Pour popcorn onto prepared tray and spread out in a single layer. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until crisped up. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • You can use a 100g packet of natural flavour microwave popcorn instead of the corn kernels and oil. Microwave as per instructions on the packet, then proceed with step 3.
  • Parmesan can be omitted if preferred.
  • Popcorn is best eaten fresh, but will keep well in an airtight container for a few days.
