Step 1

Pop the popcorn in a popcorn maker or on the stove (see steps 2 and 3).

Step 2

Make popcorn on the stove: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add a few pieces of popcorn - if the corn slowly spins in the oil then the oil is hot enough.

Step 3

Add remaining popcorn and cover with a lid. Once the popcorn starts popping, shake the pot gently every now and then.

Step 4

Remove from heat when the popping stops (when you can count to 3 between pops) and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 5

Combine the salt, cayenne pepper and paprika in a small bowl and mix to combine ("Spice Mix.

Step 6

Get a large serving bowl and place 1/3 of the popcorn in it. Spray generously with olive oil then sprinkle over 1/3 of the parmesan and 1/3 of the Spice Mix.Repeat twice more. Do not toss. The flavourings will naturally toss through as people start to dig in.
