Vegan Popcorn Seasoning Tips

What can I add to popcorn to make it taste better?

Seasoning blends are the perfect vegan-friendly addition to freshly popped popcorn. Aside from this seasoning recipe, we recommend adding cinnamon, garlic or taco seasoning to popcorn. You might like these other vegan snacks, too!

How do you get flavorings to stick to air-popped popcorn?

Flavored seasonings, like this vegan popcorn seasoning, will stick to air-popped popcorn if you first toss it with a base like ghee or oil.

Can you flavor popcorn before popping?

We recommend adding seasonings, like nutritional yeast, to flavored popcorn after popping. If you add the seasonings beforehand, you could burn the popcorn—and who wants that?
