Stovetop Cheesy Vegan Popcorn Recipe
Stovetop Cheesy Vegan Popcorn Recipe
Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks – it’s inexpensive, just the right amount of indulgent, and super easy to make. I keep a jar full of popcorn kernels on hand at all times.
I was buying like 3 bags of White Cheddar Skinny Pop popcorn a week for a while (no lie). Which is super delicious – and the flavor is vegan, of course! But already-popped store-bought popcorn is pretty pricey compared to just making it yourself at home.
You could totally buy a popcorn maker like this one – but if you’re like me, you already have way too many appliances and absolutely no room in your kitchen cupboards. I recommend just using a big pot you already own and follow what I call the Pioneer Woman method.

INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large pot, add in the oil and 3 popcorn kernels. Turn the heat to medium-high.
- Once the 3 kernels have popped, remove them from the pot and add in the remaining popcorn kernels.
- Cover the pot and remove from the heat for 1 minute. Shake the pot a few times.
- Put the pot back on the heat. Shake frequently (every 15-20 seconds or so).
- After a couple of minutes, you’ll hear the popcorn start popping. Keep shaking. Remove from heat when the popping slows down. Keep the lid on!
- Once the popcorn stops popping, it’s ready to get cheesy!
- Add in the nutritional yeast, salt, and vegan butter. Give it a good toss to coat the popcorn. Alternatively, you can season the popcorn with dill, garlic, vegan parmesan, etc.
INGREDIENTS
