Ingredients

• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add a few popcorn kernels and cover the pot.
2. Once the kernels pop, add the remaining popcorn kernels in an even layer. Cover the pot, and remove it from heat for 30 seconds.
3. Return the pot to the heat. Once the kernels start popping, gently shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning. Keep the lid slightly ajar to let the steam escape.
4. When the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
5. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast, sea salt, and optional garlic powder and paprika over the popcorn. Toss well to coat evenly.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful, cheesy popcorn!

Helpful Tips

• For extra cheesy flavor, add more nutritional yeast.
• If you prefer less oil, use an air popper to pop the popcorn and then drizzle with a small amount of melted coconut or olive oil.
• Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

Storage Instructions

• Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To re-crisp, briefly warm in a 350°F oven.

Pairings & Complementary Dishes

• Enjoy with a refreshing lemonade or a cozy cup of hot cocoa.
• Pair with other movie night snacks like homemade nachos or veggie sticks with dip.
