Step 1

For more than 2 servings, depending on the size of your microwave oven, you may need to work in batches.

Step 2

Put the olive oil and a little salt in a microwave safe bowl.

Step 3

Add the popcorn kernels and stir so that the kernels get completely covered with the oil and salt mixture.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with the vented lid and microwave on 'High' for 3-4 min, or until popping slows to 1-2 seconds between pops.

Step 5

The time will vary depending on your microwave and bowl, so you may need to some trial-and-error testing with the first few batches to figure out how long it takes the popcorn to cook.

Step 6

Carefully remove the popcorn from the microwave oven (the bowl is hot!), sprinkle with the herbs, and serve.
