Ingredients

½ cup popcorn kernels 100 g
2 Tbsp truffle oil 30 mL
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast or finely grated parmesan 18 g
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Pop: Place kernels in a large, microwave safe bowl. Cover and cook on high for about 3 minutes, or until almost all of the kernels have popped (you'll know it's done when there is about 1 second between each "pop!").
Season: Drizzle in the truffle oil, nutritional yeast or parmesan cheese, and salt. Toss to evenly coat. Serve immediately.

Notes

Nutritional yeast makes a great vegan option to replace the cheese flavor!

For strict vegetarians, look for a parmesan cheese that is labeled as vegetarian.

Storage: Because this popcorn is made with truffle oil, storing it in the refrigerator is recommended! This helps preserve the truffle flavor and keeps it tasting fresh.
