Ingredients

- 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
- 3 tablespoons popcorn oil or other neutral oil
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

1. Preparation:
- Gather all ingredients and your supplies, including a large microwave-safe bowl with a secure lid or a microwave popcorn popper.

2. Microwave Popcorn:
- Place the 1/2 cup of unpopped popcorn kernels in the microwave-safe bowl or popper.

3. Popping the Corn:
- Cover the bowl with the lid securely. If using a popper, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops. Stay close to avoid burning.

4. Flavoring the Popcorn:

- Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder for added flavor, if desired.

5. Mix and Serve:
- Secure the lid and shake the bowl vigorously to ensure even distribution of the nutritional yeast and other seasonings.
