Lemon, Parmesan and Black Pepper Popcorn

A simple and inexpensive gourmet snack. This is a loosely written recipe; you can eyeball the amounts of oil and popcorn kernel and adjust toppings to taste. Olive oil has a lower burning point than vegetable oil, so don’t raise the heat higher than medium-low.
