A few times before my daughter was born, my husband and I enjoyed microwave popcorn. It’s convenient, and the taste was quite good at that time. Interestingly, we never made it more than one bag at a time.

There are so many obvious things about it that pushed us away from microwaved popcorn: the bag material, the butter, unknown ingredients, and dealing with the garbage afterwards. I’m so glad we left it behind.

So, I started to pop my own popcorn using brown paper bags in a microwave. It worked ok, but I always ended up with so many unpopped kernels.

it’s so easy to make your own

Then, I tried popping it with a pot on a stove, and that worked really well. However, when our daughter was big enough, we started our movie night ritual. Ever since, popcorn has become more and more in demand, and using a pot to pop our popcorn didn’t work fast enough.

Despite trying not to own every kitchen equipment, I finally invested one of the whirley popcorn crankers. Believe it or not, it becomes one of the most practical thing things I can hardly live without.

With vegan parmesan cheese and vegan butter on hand, I can make popcorn and get everything ready faster than a movie picker can find a movie!

Here are things you need to make Vegan Popcorn:

1. ½ cup (64 g) or a little bit less of either white or yellow popcorn.
2. About 1 TBSP (15 g) of coconut oil.
3. 1-2 TBSP (15-30 g) of vegan parmesan cheese.
4. ¼ tsp (1.5 g) of salt.

Note: You can adjust the amount you want to make to your own needs using this measurement as a guideline

How:

1. Grind some vegan parmesan cheese with a coffee grinder–skip this part if you already have some already ground,
2. Melt some vegan butter on very low heat.
3. Pop the popcorn on a stove: you can use a heavy bottom pot or pan. I’m showing you with my whirley pop that I have been using for over 10 years!
4. With the popcorn popped, in a separate bowl, mix in the melted butter, sprinkle the salt, and the cheese. Mix well, and enjoy.
5. Repeat if you want more–it’s easy!
   

   enjoy!
