🍿 Preparation Steps:

Pop the kernels in your popcorn machine with Bullseye coconut oil (see chart below). Pour into a large bowl; remove unpopped kernels.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the pizza sauce: in a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, a drizzle of melted butter or olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder and butter-flavored seasoning salt.
Toss the popcorn with the pizza sauce until evenly coated, then spread on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle generously with grated parmesan (and mini pepperoni slices if using).
Bake 8–10 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the coating is dry and the cheese is lightly golden.
Cool a few minutes and serve warm. Mamma mia — pizza popcorn!
