Popcorn with Nutritional Yeast

Ingredients

• air-popped popcorn 3 cups
• nutritional yeast 1 tablespoon

Method

1. Prepare the popcorn. Measure out 3 cups of air-popped popcorn. If you do not have pre-popped popcorn, you can use an air popper to pop the kernels without oil. Ensure the popcorn is fresh and crisp.
   Tip: Avoid microwave popcorn with added butter or salt to keep the recipe healthy and control the flavor.
2. Measure nutritional yeast. Measure 1 tablespoon (14 grams) of nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast gives the popcorn a cheesy, umami flavor and adds protein and vitamins.
   Tip: Use a dry spoon to measure the nutritional yeast to prevent clumping.
3. Combine popcorn and nutritional yeast. Place the air-popped popcorn in a large bowl. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast evenly over the popcorn. Toss gently but thoroughly with your hands or a large spoon to coat the popcorn evenly.
   Tip: If the nutritional yeast does not stick well, you can lightly mist the popcorn with water or a small amount of olive oil before tossing.
4. Serve and enjoy. Divide the popcorn into 10 equal servings. Enjoy immediately as a savory, healthy snack.
   Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.

Pro tips

• Use an air popper or stovetop method without oil to keep the popcorn light and healthy.
• If you prefer a bit of salt, sprinkle a tiny pinch after adding the nutritional yeast.
