Grated Parmesan and Fresh Cracked Pepper Popcorn

Hey everyone! Why haven't I made this before??? I had a craving for a munchie and popcorn sounded good. My normal sprinkle-ons would be salt, Lawry's Cracked Pepper Seasoned Salt, or Emeril's Essence, all very good... I decided to break out the Parmesan/Reggiano and added some fresh cracked black pepper this time.
It's almost too easy! Make popcorn (I used an air popper), grate the cheese using a microplane zester, set the pepper grinder a little coarser and give it a couple turns, and finally add a sprinkle of kosher salt. Done! I can't speak to diet or calories... just going to say it's quick, it's natural and a perfect snack.
