Description
This is hands down the most delicious popcorn I've ever made! The perfect amout of salty and cheesy while still keeping it vegan. Tastes just like the one at the movies! This recipe yields 4 cups of popcorn. Feel free to double or triple the recipe but make sure to never add more than 1/4 cup of kernels into the pot at once. Overcrowding the popcorn will result in burning.
Ingredients
Seasoning:
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (i.e. a pinch, or more to taste)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
Popcorn:
- 1/4 cup popping corn
- 1 tbsp avocado oil*
Instructions
Seasoning:
- In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients and set aside.
Popcorn:
- Add the oil into a big pot on the stove over high heat.
- When hot, add 1 kernel, cover with a lid and wait for it to pop. Once it does, scoop it out with a spoon.
- Add the 1/4 cup of corn kernels, cover the pot with a lid and shake to spread the kernels out.
- They should start popping soon. Keep shaking the pot to avoid burning the popcorn.
- Once the popping stops or there are gaps in between pops longer than 3 seconds, take off the heat. Don't try to pop every single kernel.
- Pour the popcorn into a bowl and add oil (see notes) and the seasoning. Toss to coat and enjoy.
Notes
* Besides the 1 tbsp for cooking the popcorn, I used avocado oil in a spray bottle. Just spray the popcorn a little after you place it in the bowl, before you season it, to help the seasoning stick better to the popcorn. Important: Make sure you're careful when handing the pot while making the popcorn. It's EXTREMELY HOT. The oil is very hot and so is the steam after you remove the lid so please only handle it with mittens and be careful.
