Preparation
Step 1
Add the nutritional yeast and salt to a large food storage container (with a lid). Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Place 3-4 individual kernels in the pan. Once the kernels begin to pop, add in the rest of the kernels so that they form a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Cover the saucepan with a lid and give it a shake so that the kernels all get coated with the oil.
Step 3
When the popcorn kernels start popping, give the pan a good shake every 15 seconds or so to help the un-popped kernels fall to the bottom. Once the popping slows down and there are a few seconds between pops, immediately transfer the popcorn to the prepared food storage container. Place the lid on the container, and give it a good shake for 10 seconds to coat the popcorn.
Step 4
Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's notes
Possible variations include adding freshly-cracked black pepper, everything bagel seasoning, cayenne, Parmesan cheese, or other seasonings like taco, Cajun, Italian, or za’atar seasoning. Finely-chopped fresh herbs like basil, thyme, rosemary, cilantro, parsley or mint can also be added. Truffle oil can be drizzled on the popcorn after it has popped.
