Cheesy Popcorn

Brewer's yeast adds a cheese-like flavor to this popcorn snack without adding calories or fat.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 tablespoons garlic flavored or vegetable oil
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast or brewer’s yeast*
1 teaspoon curry powder (optional)

Cooking Directions:

1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot (with a lid), place oil and about 3 popcorn kernels.
   
2. Heat over medium-high heat until a kernel pops. Add remaining popcorn; cover.
   
3. Once corn begins to pop, shake pot constantly over heat.
   
4. When popping slows, remove pot from heat and transfer popcorn to a serving bowl.
   
5. Pour butter over popcorn, if desired, and toss.
   
6. Sprinkle yeast and curry powder, if desired, over popcorn and toss to distribute evenly.
   
7. Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container.

Makes 10 (1 cup) servings.
