Pop-pop-pop-Popcorn!

This is simply the best popcorn ever! Since we discovered this recipe a few days ago, we've made it at least once a day. So good!

The key is to cook your popcorn kernels in coconut oil. I do it in my Whirley Pop. On my gas stovetop, it only takes about 2 minutes. The video says to use 3 tablespoons. I just use a regular spoon and scoop a bit in. Then I add in my 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels and pop away!

I throw the seasoning into my Blendtec to get it well blended.

The video calls for:
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons Indian black salt

I didn't have Indian black salt, so I subbed pink Himalayan salt instead. I also used dehydrated onions instead of onion powder but because I blended it, it made onion powder. The recipe made enough for DH and I to have two big batches (on different nights), and for DS to have a small bowl as a snack one day, too.

Yesterday, we were running low on nutri yeast but I was really craving some popcorn, so I improvised a new recipe. It went something like this:

(all ingredients "to taste")
nutri yeast (whatever we had left; probably about 1/8 cup)
pink Himalayan salt
dried parsley
dried oregano
garlic powder
onion powder (I used dehydrated onions)
peppercorns
paprika

If you don't like things spicy, definitely go easy on the paprika!
