Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons cooking oil
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast optional for a cheesy flavor
- 2-4 tablespoons vegan butter
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, add in the oil and 3 popcorn kernels. Turn the heat to medium-high.
- Once the 3 kernels have popped, the pot is now hot enough. Remove the popcorn pieces from the pot and add in the remaining popcorn kernels.
- Cover the pot and remove from the heat for 1 minute. Shake the pot a few times.
- Put the pot back on the heat. Shake frequently (every 15-20 seconds or so).
- After a couple of minutes, you'll hear the popcorn start popping. Keep shaking. Remove from heat when the popping slows down. Keep the lid on!
- Once the popcorn stops popping, it's ready to get cheesy!
- Add in the nutritional yeast, salt, and vegan butter. Give it a good toss to coat the popcorn. Alternatively, you can season the popcorn with dill, garlic, vegan parmesan, etc.
