Ingredients & Substitutions

Popcorn kernels can be found in most grocery stores. Nutritional yeast is a key ingredient for a cheesy flavor without dairy. For an oil-free version, simply omit the coconut oil and use a light spray of vegetable broth before adding seasonings.

Tips & Notes

  • Make sure to shake the pot gently while popping to prevent burning.
  • For an extra crunch, let the popcorn cool for a few minutes before adding seasonings.

Recipe Variations

  • Try adding cinnamon and a touch of maple syrup for a sweet version.
  • Mix in some crushed nuts or seeds for added protein and texture.

Storage & Freezing

Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For best results, consume fresh.
