Truffle Popcorn ~
A few simple ingredients are all that’s needed to elevate your everyday popcorn to gourmet status.
Ths savory snack is easy to make and deliciously addictive!
White or Black Truffle Oil?
For this recipe, I used white truffle oil.
Technically, you could use either; it’s really a matter of personal taste and preference.
What is the Difference Between White and Black Truffle Oil?
White truffle oil has a delicate and slightly garlicky flavor that pairs well with pasta, bread, potatoes, and in this case, popcorn.
In contrast, black truffle oil has a generally more robust flavor and is typically paired with stronger flavored foods, such as traditionally red-meat-based dishes.
I like this recipe because it’s easy to make in minutes and ingredient amounts can be adjusted to suit personal taste preferences. Enjoy!
Ingredients for Truffle Popcorn
You will need:
- 4 teaspoons white truffle oil
- 1/4 cup vegan Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- Salt, to taste
How to Make Truffle Popcorn
STEP ONE: In a small bowl, combine the truffle oil, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Set aside.
STEP TWO: Pour popcorn kernels into a lunch-size paper bag. Fold the top of the bag over to seal it closed. Microwave at full power for 2-3 minutes, until kernels are only popping about every 2 seconds. Carefully open the bag (the steam will be hot!) and pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
STEP THREE: While the popcorn is still hot, drizzle the oil mixture over the popcorn, tossing to distribute evenly.
STEP FOUR: Adjust seasoning to taste with salt, then serve.

Such a creative and fun recipe! I’m usually not a big fan of hearty popcorn (I need mine sweet), but this hearty one is SO AMAZING! I like to use Violife Parmesan for these, so good.
