Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast or as much as you like,
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil enough to thoroughly coat the bottom of the pan
  • 1/4 cup popcorn kernels

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Test the oil by adding 3 or so individual kernels to the pan. Once these kernels start popping, add in the rest of the popcorn kernels to form a single layer at the bottom of the pan. Cover the saucepan with a lid and shake it gently to ensure all kernels are coated with oil.
  • As the popcorn starts popping, give it a  good shake the pan every 15 seconds to prevent burning.
  • When the popping slows down and there are a few seconds between pops, immediately transfer the popcorn to your large bowl.
  • Sprinkle it with nooch and salt. Cover the container with the lid and shake it for about 10 seconds to evenly coat the popcorn. Serve warm and enjoy!
