Popcorn on the stove top!
3 Tbs. grapeseed oil or other high heat oil
¾ c. popcorn kernels
On the stovetop, using a WHIRLEY POP, heat oil and popcorn on medium heat. Takes less than 5 minutes to finish. When you can count to 3 without hearing a kernel pop it is time to remove from heat. Of the cooked popcorn, set aside eight cups and continue with the following.
8 c. of popped popcorn
¾ tbs. nutritional yeast
¼ tsp. toasted sesame oil
Salt to taste
Place popcorn in plastic bag when slightly cooled, sprinkle on nutritional yeast and salt and shake bag well. Once the the salt and yeast are well integrated, pour in the sesame oil and shake again.
Fresh, light and savory popcorn in about as much time as the microwave version. Full of fiber and grapeseed oil is loaded with Vitamin E, which is wonderful for healthy skin and nails. Lacking all the saturated fats and chemicals of its counterpart.
Do take care in your choice of nutritional yeast. It is generally not considered safe if out of the bulk bin at the co-op because of cross contamination possibility. You may need to special order. It is worth it, however. Nutritional yeast, with it’s chedder cheese flavor, is high in protein, B vitamins and contains essential amino acids. It all adds up to a great snack.
