Equipment
- 1 saucepan medium
- 1 Air Popper optional
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup popcorn organic, non GMO
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the nutritional yeast and salt to a large storage container (with a lid). Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Place3-4 individual kernels in the pan. Once the kernels begin to pop, add in the rest of the kernels so that they form a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Cover the saucepan with a lid and give it a shake so that the kernels all get coated with the oil.
- When the popcorn kernels start popping, give the pan a good shake every 15 seconds or so to help the un-popped kernels fall to the bottom. Once the popping slows down and there are a few seconds between pops, immediately transfer the popcorn to the prepared food storage container. Place the lid on the container, and give it a good shake for10 seconds to coat the popcorn.
- Alternatively, if you have an air popping machine follow the instruction on the air popper and then coat the popped popcorn with melted coconut oil and nutritional yeast and salt.
