The BEST Food Hack to Make the CHEESIEST Vegan Popcorn EVER
This is one of the BEST food hacks ever. To make the cheesiest vegan popcorn, I simply use the cheese powder from boxed vegan mac and cheese. *Mind-blowing.* This tastes exactly like real cheddar cheese popcorn; it's insane!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup jumbo popcorn kernels
- 3 tbsp vegan butter, melted (Use unsalted butter if you're sensitive to salt!)
- 2 packages vegan cheddar cheese powder from Annie's Homegrown Organic Vegan Mac in the CHEDDAR FLAVOR
Instructions
- Add the vegetable oil into a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Place 4 popcorn kernels inside and cover with a lid.
- Once the kernels have popped, pour the rest of the kernels inside and cover.
- Shake the pot vigorously every few seconds to ensure the popcorn cooks evenly. Shake quickly, though, as you don't want the pot off of the heat for too long.
- When the kernel popping slows down to about 3 seconds apart from each other, remove the pot from the heat. Give it one last good shake, and then dump the popcorn into a large bowl.
- Pour the melted butter over the popcorn as evenly as you can and immediately give it many tosses to distribute the butter equally.
- Sprinkle a little bit of the cheese powder over the popcorn. Toss the popcorn very well. Continue adding a little bit more of the cheese powder, tossing the popcorn well, until there is no cheese powder left. I usually begin tossing the popcorn with my hands about half-way through adding in the cheese powder.
- VOILA! Enjoy your realistic, SUPER cheesy, vegan popcorn!
