Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil, or grapeseed oil, or even vegan butter
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add 3-4 individual kernels to the skillet or pot, then cover.
- Once they pop, add the remaining kernels and cover again. Shake the skillet or pot occasionally to prevent burning.
- When the popping dies down, remove from heat, add the seasonings (nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt), and shake the skillet or pot well to combine.
Notes
- Use a Heavy-Bottomed Skillet or Pot: A heavy-bottomed skillet or pot helps distribute heat evenly, reducing the risk of burning your popcorn.
- Preheat the Skillet or Pot: Preheat your skillet or pot with the oil before adding the popcorn kernels. This ensures they start cooking immediately and pop evenly.
- Keep the Lid on Tight: Keeping the lid securely in place traps steam, helping the kernels pop faster and more evenly.
- Shake Frequently: Shake the skillet or pot frequently while popping to prevent any kernels from burning and to ensure even cooking.
- Season Immediately: Season your popcorn as soon as it's done popping while it's still warm. This allows the seasonings to stick better and distribute evenly.
