Ingredients & Substitutions
You can usually find popcorn kernels in the baking aisle of most grocery stores, and they’re super affordable. Nutritional yeast is the secret to that cheesy taste; it’s a game-changer. If you’re skipping oil, a quick spritz of veggie broth before adding your seasonings works wonders—trust me, I’ve tried it!
Tips & Notes
- •Shake the pot gently and consistently while it pops to make sure every kernel gets its moment to shine.
- •After popping, I like to spread the popcorn on a baking sheet to cool down before tossing in the seasoning—this helps preserve the crunch.
- •I stash my leftovers in a cute tin on the shelf (when there are any!)—they stay crisp for a few days.
Recipe Variations
- •If you’re in a sweet mood, mix in a sprinkle of cinnamon and a little maple syrup—it’s like a warm hug in popcorn form.
- •My friend Jake loves to add chili powder and a squeeze of lime for a zesty twist!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For best results, consume fresh.
