If you like homemade stovetop popcorn, you're going to love this nutritional yeast popcorn even more. This simple dairy free ingredient adds a new level of flavor with a cheesy, buttery taste that enhances an already delicious snack.
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 - 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- Salt (or popcorn salt, to taste)
Coat the kernels. Add the vegetable oil and popcorn kernels to a large saucepan (a minimum size of 3-quarts). Swish the kernels around to coat them evenly in the oil.
Pop the popcorn. Cover the pot and place over high heat. Once the kernels begin popping, hold the lid on with one hand and shake the pot frequently to prevent burning. When the popping slows to about 1 pop per second, remove from heat immediately.
Season and serve. Transfer the popcorn to a large bowl. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast and salt to taste, toss to combine, and serve warm.
