Method
Heat the oil and temper the kernels
Medium heatIn a large pot with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add a few of the corn kernels. As soon as they start to pop, add the rest of the kernels and remove the pot from the heat for 30 seconds, so all the kernels gently come to the same temperature.

Pop the corn
ShakePut the pot back on the heat with the lid on but slightly off-centre, venting so some steam can escape — too much steam makes soggy popcorn. Shake the pot as the corn pops so it doesn't burn on the bottom.
Transfer to a bowl
Once the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, transfer the popcorn to a large bowl.
Season and toss
TossDrizzle the melted butter over the popcorn, sprinkle with sea salt, and toss. Add the nutritional yeast flakes and toss again until evenly coated.

Cook's noteFor a less flaky coating that clings better, pulse the nutritional yeast in a blender until powdery before tossing with the popcorn.
