Chef's Note

For the best flavor, crush the dried rosemary between your fingers or in a mortar and pestle before adding to the seasoning mix. This releases more of the aromatic oils and prevents large, sharp pieces in your popcorn. If you have a mister bottle, you can lightly spray the popcorn with olive oil after popping to help the seasoning adhere better.

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons popcorn kernels

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (crushed)

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
  • 1

    In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

  • 2

    In a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat.

  • 3

    Add 3 tablespoons popcorn kernels to the pot and cover with the lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.

  • 4

    Gently shake the pot back and forth across the burner as the kernels begin to pop to prevent burning.

  • 5

    Once the popping slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops, remove from heat and let sit for 30 seconds to ensure all kernels have popped.

  • 6

    Transfer the hot popcorn to a large bowl and immediately sprinkle with half of the nutritional yeast herb mixture.

  • 7

    Toss the popcorn, then add the remaining mixture and toss again until evenly coated.

  • 8

    Let cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying to allow the flavors to meld and the nutritional yeast to adhere to the popcorn.
