Instructions
Seasoning
- Add all the seasoning ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together until well combined.
Stovetop Popcorn
- Heat a medium-sized pot over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Swirl the pot around so that the oil coats the bottom of the pan.
- Add the popcorn kernels into a somewhat even layer on the bottom of the pot then cover with a lid. In a minute or two, you'll hear popping.
- Once the popping slows way down, only hearing one or two pops left, remove the pot from the heat, remove the lid, and transfer the popped popcorn to a large bowl.
- While the popcorn is still warm, spray it with avocado oil.
- Sprinkle the vegan popcorn seasoning over the popcorn. Spray more oil on the popcorn as needed then more seasoning, to taste. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly and enjoy!
- Store leftover seasoning in an airtight container or jar.
