Ingredients

  • tablespoon chili powder 
  • teaspoon ground cumin 
  • 0.3 cup nutritional yeast 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 0.8 cup popcorn kernels 
  • tablespoons vegetable oil 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • pot

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan or soup pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add popcorn, and place the lid on the pan. Shake to coat kernels with oil. When the corn starts to pop, shake the pan constantly until the popping stops.
  3. Remove from heat, and pour popped corn into a large bowl.
  4. Drizzle the melted butter over the corn if using, and sprinkle with yeast, chili powder, cumin and salt. I like to give it a little stir before serving.
