Start by popping 13 cups of popcorn in a microwave-safe popcorn maker without oil for 3 minutes.

While the popcorn is popping, prepare the seasoning mixture by combining 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast flakes, a sprinkle of paprika, and a sprinkle of turmeric in a bowl.

Stir the seasoning mixture together and keep salt nearby for personal preference.

Once the popcorn is done, listen for the popping to slow down to know when to pull it out of the microwave.

After removing the popcorn, pour it out into a pan to allow steam to escape, which prevents gummy popcorn.

Pick out any unpopped kernels from the popcorn to ensure a kernel-free snack.

Spread the popcorn out on the pan and spray it with vegetable cooking spray to help the seasonings stick.

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the popcorn and stir to coat evenly, adding more seasoning if desired.
