Popcorn is one of the greatest foods on planet Earth and I think you all should know how to pop to perfection right at home. My spice blend has been honed and perfected over many, many years and is an umami party thanks to several magical ingredients (yes, nutritional yeast is one of them). I burned my finger making this the other night and I'd do it again just to be alone with a giant bowl all to myself.

Here are the ingredients—taste and season as you go!
*Magical 7-Spice Umami Popcorn*
Popcorn kernels
Vegetable oil, for popping
Extra virgin olive oil, for seasoning
Kosher salt
