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

US Customary - Metric

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.
