In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the oil, ranch mix, and stir to
combine. Add the popcorn, pretzels, nuts, and optional ingredients
(see below). Tip to make popcorn easily - add 2 to 3 tablespoons
unpopped kernels to a brown paper lunch bag, fold the top down
twice, and heat for about 90 seconds on high power - don't add oil,
butter, or anything else, just the kernels.
Toss to evenly coat the mixture; it may seem a bit on the oily side,
this is okay and it absorbs. Heat on high power for 2 minutes,
stopping after 1 minute to toss the mixture because the oil has a
tendency to pool at the bottom of the bowl. Add the Parmesan and
toss to coat evenly. Serve mix immediately. Mix will keep for up to
three days in an airtight container or large ziptop plastic bag; but is
best enjoyed same day, noting that cheese has been added and
some may wish to refrigerate the mix if storing it longer term.
Optional Variations - Can be added instead of or in combination
with the other dry ingredients- Coarsely crushed saltines, oyster
crackers, Club or Ritz crackers, rye crisps, Asian-style rice crackers,
tortilla or potato chips, favorite gourmet or specialty crackers,
cashews, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, pistachios. For a spicy
version, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper, to taste.
