Step 1
Pour the popcorn kernels into a large covered pot or air popper and pop according to the machine instructions until popping slows to 2–3 seconds between pops, about 3–5 minutes.
Step 2
While the popcorn pops, place a small skillet over medium heat and add the butter, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted and foaming, add the minced garlic and stir constantly for 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant and light golden, not brown.
Step 4
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully combined, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 5
Pour the hot popcorn into a large bowl and drizzle the garlic-butter-Parmesan mixture over the surface while stirring with a wooden spoon to coat evenly.
Step 6
Serve immediately in bowls while the popcorn is still warm and the coating is crispy, about 2 minutes.
