Stovetop Popcorn Dinner

A bit unhinged but completely valid. Stovetop popcorn with real butter and fancy seasoning.

  1. Pop

    Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large pot over medium high. Add 3 test kernels and cover. When they pop, add the rest of the kernels, cover, and shake the pot every 30 seconds until popping slows.

  2. Season

    Transfer to a bowl, immediately toss with 2 tablespoons of melted butter, flaky salt, and your seasoning of choice so it sticks to the hot kernels.

Slop Notes

Stovetop popcorn is infinitely superior to microwave. Nutritional yeast plus salt is the underrated combination.
