Nutritional Yeast Popcorn
Adding nutritional yeast on your popcorn gives it a nutty and slightly cheesy flavor. You can add other seasoning along with the nutritional yeast, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 large pot with lid
Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons oil (canola oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, or olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to season
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat oil on medium high. You can test if the oil is ready by using 2 or three kernels. When they pop, the oil is ready for the full ½ cup of kernels. Shake the pan to ensure the kernels are in a single layer.
- Cook the kernels until they are mostly all popped, shaking frequently. Once the popcorn has finished popping, transfer it to a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the nutritional yeast, garlic powder and salt.
- Melt two tablespoons of butter and drizzle over the popcorn. (Alternatively, you could spray the popcorn lightly with coconut or olive oil cooking spray.)
- Sprinkle the nutritional yeast and seasonings mix over the popcorn and mix to coat the popcorn evenly. Serve immediately. (Keeps 1 to 2 days in an air tight container or zip-lock bag.)
