I had to make this twice. Both times I ended up with brown bits (burnt butter I assume) on my popcorn. The second batch was better b/c I left out the salt. I added powdered cheese and garlic powder. Very tasty even with the brown bits.

Pretty darn good. I did not opt for butter, thinking that the oil alone would hold the seasonings to the popcorn - much of the toppings did end up at the bottom of the kettle, but were again on top when I poured the popcorn into a bowl. Next time, I will spray some Bragg's on before adding the seasonings and then exclude the salt. I'm surprised that my 3 year old liked this popcorn, it wasn't too spicy for her. This popcorn is so rich in flavor that you may find that you don't need to eat a lot of it to feel satisfied. Update: I now make this with air popped popcorn - use Bragg's Liquid Aminos to stick the dry ingredients to the popcorn, leave out the salt and *presto* a dieter's delight!

Quite good. I was a little skeptical at first - Mexican popcorn? - but it doesn't really taste the way I expected. I guess that's the nutritional yeast working its magic. I used air-popped popcorn and half the butter, and it turned out fine. Next time I think I'll add some cayenne for a little heat.

well I'm surprised to say I actually really enjoyed that! Certainly different and not something I would make all the time, but it was nice for a change. I made it in an air popper and then added the butter at the end (no oil). Thanks!

I love this combination! I have used yeast flakes before, but never have put cumin or chili powder on popcorn before. This will definitely be made again :) Thanks for the recipe!

This was good, but what we especially liked was the nutritional yeast--we now always put this on our popcorn in addition to butter and salt.

Great flavors but I made it exactly as listed and the spices were too much for me (yeast in the bottom of the bowl). I cut the butter to 3T and spices to 1/2t each and nutritional yeast to 1T. My kids and I thought it was perfect this time.

I was glad to try this recipe becauce I've been wanting to use nutritional yeast. I just didn't care too much for the cumin. My neighbors loved it, though!!

The taste was okay, though it didn't do too much for me. The other problem is that all that yeast, chili powder and cumin ended up on my fingers. Argh.

This recipe is good without the nutritional yeast. Most people want some butter/marg on popcorn - it's a taste that is hard to replicate. Nothing tastes like fat but fat.

This is a great twist on the way I have seasoned popcorn for years. I picked up a great trick years ago that makes it even better. Heat the oil and popcorn together until the first kernel pops. Take the pan off the heat and stir in 2-4 Tbsp. of dairy-free margarine. As soon as the margarine melts put the lid on and put the pan back on the heat. Shake frequently. The buttery flavor will be evenly spread over the popcorn, and the popcorn will pop up large with fewer "old maids".

I make this all the time! This is the best popcorn ever! I don't use the butter, and the spices stick just fine from the oil it was popped in. This is such a better alternative to microwave popcorn! Sometimes I add tumeric as well, and today I just added some chipotle powder for a little kick, but the cumin and nutritional yeast (so creamy) are what make it the greatest for me!

This has become a favorite. I haven't tried the yeast yet. It is fine with the parm. Will get some yeast soon. I use my micro popper and a buttry spray for the butter flavor.

Really enjoyed this popcorn. Popped up just a half a cup in my air popper and used parmesan cheese in place of the yeast. Next time I may mix some hot sauce in with the butter for some heat. Good stuff. Will make this one again.

This popcorn is a very very delicious, savory snack. For those of you who are not familiar with nutritional yeast, it tastes similar to parmesan cheese and it is very healthy, low-fat, and it has lots of amino acids. It can be found in natural food stores or health stores. I used air-popped popcorn, cut the amount of margarine in half, and it still tasted fabulous! So quick and easy to make. I will be making this often!
