Chicago Style Popcorn — Real Foodie Version
Servings: 16 cups
Ingredients
- 2 batches of this popcorn made with coconut oil
- 1/2-3/4 cup pastured butter
- Sea salt to taste
- 1/8 to 1/4 cup maple sugar (or organic brown sugar), just make sure the only ingredient is maple syrup
- 1/8 to 1/4 cup nutritional yeast — you can use powder or the flakes. If you're not familiar with this stuff-- it's not like other yeasts you've heard of, it's just a good-for-you, nutrient-rich ingredient that many use for recipes just like this when you want a cheesy-like flavor on your food! It's a good source of B vitamins and other nutrients too. (The brand I linked to here has no synthetic folic acid.)
Instructions
- Pop the popcorn and keep the two batches in separate bowls. Butter and salt them both. In one bowl, sprinkle the maple sugar all over and toss. Taste-test and add more sugar if needed. In the other bowl, sprinkle on the nutritional yeast and toss. Taste-test and add more for a more cheesy taste. When you get the tastes on both how you want them, toss together and enjoy!
