Popcorn with Nutritional Yeast: A Flavorful and Healthy Snack

This easy stovetop recipe makes delicious, fluffy popcorn with minimal burned kernels. You can customize your popcorn by adding different toppings.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 quarts

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive or coconut oil
  • 34 cup of high-quality corn kernels
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to your taste.
  • Salt (to taste).

Instructions

  1. Heat up the Oil: Place the coconut or olive oils in a saucepan with a thick base and heat it over medium high heat. If you’re using coconut oil, make sure it is completely melted.
  2. Test your Oil: Drop in 3 or 4 corn kernels to the oil. Cover the pot until the kernels pop. This will let you know that the oil is ready.
  3. Add Kernels: When the test kernels pop, add the remaining Popcorn Kernels in an equal layer.
  4. Counter 30 Seconds: Cover pot and remove from heat. Count up to 30 for all the kernels.
  5. Return Heat: Place pot back on burner. The popcorn should begin to pop. To prevent burning, gently shake the pan.
  6. Release steam: Keep a lid slightly open during popping so that steam can escape and make the pop corn crispier.
  7. Remove pot from heat: Once the popping stops, the pot should be removed from the heat. Pour the pop corn in a large, clean bowl.
  8. Add Salt and Butter: If you wish, melt the butter in the pot and drizzle the butter over the Popcorn. Sprinkle with salt and mix.

Notes

 

  • If you want the best texture possible, leave the lid slightly open to let steam escape.
  • By removing the heat for 30 seconds and then returning, you can ensure that every kernel pops evenly.
