Base Ingredients

Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Corn
Start by taking 2 cups of corn kernels. If you are using fresh corn, ensure it is well-extracted from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it properly.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to get hot but not smoking.
Cooking
- 3
Cook the Corn
Add the corn to the heated skillet. Stir frequently, allowing the corn to cook for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes tender and slightly golden.
- 4
Add Seasoning
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sea salt over the cooked corn. If you desire additional flavor, add 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- 5
Cool the Mixture
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
Popping
- 6
Pop the Corn
Using a popcorn maker or air-popper, pop the cooled corn mixture. If you don't have an air-popper, you can use a stovetop method by placing the corn in a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid. Shake the pot occasionally until popping slows down.
- 7
Seasoning Adjustment
Taste the popped corn and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more sea salt or any of the optional spices.
