Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Gather all the dry ingredients: salt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Using a whisk or a fork, thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients together, ensuring that each spice is evenly distributed throughout the seasoning blend.
- Break up any potential clumps in the mixture by gently pressing the ingredients through a fine-mesh sieve or by using the back of a spoon to crush any small lumps.
- Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from entering.
- Store the seasoning in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The blend will keep well for up to 3 months when stored properly.
- To use, sprinkle generously over freshly popped popcorn while it's still warm, shaking the container to ensure even distribution of the seasoning.
- For best results, lightly spray or drizzle melted butter or olive oil over the popcorn before adding the seasoning to help it adhere better.
Tips
- • For the most even coating, sprinkle the seasoning while your popcorn is still piping hot and slightly oily. This helps the spices stick better and ensures maximum flavor in every bite.• Use a fine-mesh sieve when mixing your ingredients to prevent any clumping and create a perfectly smooth seasoning blend.• Experiment with the ratios! If you prefer a more intense flavor, you can slightly increase the nutritional yeast or smoked paprika.• Store your seasoning in a cool, dark place in an airtight container to maintain maximum freshness and prevent moisture from compromising the blend.• Pro hack: This seasoning isn't just for popcorn! Try sprinkling it on roasted vegetables, baked chicken, or even as a unique salad topping.
