Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Toasted Cumin

Instructions:

  1. Measure the bases. Combine the 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast and 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt in a small bowl. Note: This creates the primary salty savory foundation.
  2. Incorporate the aromatics. Add the 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder and 1/2 tsp Onion Powder to the mix.
  3. Add the color and heat. Stir in the 1 tsp Smoked Paprika and 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper until the mixture is a uniform brick red color.
  4. Finish with the earthiness. Whisk in the 1/2 tsp Toasted Cumin.
  5. Refine the texture. Pour the entire mix into a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
  6. Pulse briefly. Process for 5-10 seconds until the mixture looks like fine, colorful dust.
  7. Prepare the corn. Place your hot, freshly popped corn in a large mixing bowl.
  8. Apply the adhesive. Lightly spray the corn with a neutral oil or drizzle with a tiny bit of melted butter.
  9. The gradual shower. Sift the seasoning over the corn while tossing the bowl with your other hand.
  10. The final check. Give it one last aggressive toss until every kernel has a light, matte coating.
