"I eat this popcorn multiple times every week. It’s adapted from a Melissa Clark recipe. Thanks, Melissa!"
Laura Harrison

Ingredients
-
½ cup popcorn kernels
-
½ cup canola oil
-
2 tsp Provençal Basil
-
Pinch Cobanero Chili (optional)
-
¼ tsp fresh ground Zanzibar black peppercorns
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ cup nutritional yeast
Directions
Grind down all the spices aside from nutritional yeast in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Then add nutritional yeast to create a fine powder.
Heat oil in a medium pot on a medium high flame. Add a few kernels of popcorn and once they pop, add the rest.
Put a tight-fitting lid on the pot. After the popcorn has been popping rapidly and it starts to slow down to a pop every few seconds, turn the flame off. Quickly transfer the popcorn to a large bowl and toss with the spices. The amount of oil and the heat will help the spices stick to every kernel!
