Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Popcorn Infused Olive Oil Blend
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

Equipment

• 1 Large Heavy-Bottomed Pot With Lid
• 1 Large mixing bowl For Tossing
• 1 Set Measuring cups Dry Ingredients
• 1 Set Measuring spoons Seasonings
• 1 Wooden Spoon or Heatproof Spatula For Stirring

Method

 

Instructions

1. 1. Set a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the Popcorn Infused Olive Oil Blend along with 3 popcorn kernels.
2. 2. Cover the pot and heat until the test kernels pop, then add the remaining popcorn kernels and cover again.
3. 3. Shake the pot gently as the kernels pop, keeping the pot moving so the popcorn cooks evenly.
4. 4. When the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and transfer the popcorn to a large serving bowl.
5. 5. Drizzle the melted butter over the warm popcorn and toss with the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, and sea salt.
6. 6. Toss again until the seasoning is evenly distributed, then serve right away while the popcorn is still crisp.

Notes

Popcorn pops best when the pot is hot before the kernels go in, and the seasoning sticks best while the popcorn is still warm. For an extra even finish, sprinkle the dry seasonings in two rounds instead of all at once.

Recipe Tips

Warm the oil before adding the popcorn kernels so they pop more evenly, and toss the finished popcorn while it is still warm so the seasoning clings better.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this popcorn in a big bowl for movie night, small paper cups for parties, or alongside a charcuterie board when you want a playful savory snack.

Storage

Store any leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If it softens, spread it on a baking sheet and warm it briefly in a low oven to crisp it back up.

Variations

Add grated Parmesan, smoked paprika, everything bagel seasoning, or a pinch of chili flakes for a new flavor twist without changing the simple base recipe.
