Exploding Cheese Puffs

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup popcorn kernels
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter
• ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (see Tip)
• Kosher salt and freshly and finely ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons whole-grain sorghum

Instructions

1. Add the popcorn kernels to a medium-size paper bag, fold the top several times to seal it, and microwave on high until the popping has almost stopped, 3 to 4 minutes, taking care not to burn it near the end.
2. Pour the popcorn into a very large bowl (reserve the bag). Add the oil and stir or toss to coat the popcorn thoroughly. Add the Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
3. Add the sorghum to the paper bag and microwave on high until the popping has almost stopped, 1 to 2 minutes, taking care not to burn it near the end. Sprinkle the popped sorghum over the popcorn and serve.
