My favorite cheesy snack is dairy-free and takes only 5 minutes to make

I recently rediscovered a healthy snack that can be prepared in under five minutes — and it’s so easy to make, that even a pedestrian like me can pull it off. One of my favorites are Flaming Hot Cheetos, but salt and unidentifiable ingredients like “Red 40 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 6, Yellow 5,” scare me religiously. Like a sad lost child, or better yet, a wounded puppy, I slowly stroll up and down the snack aisle with a dry mouth, my stomach growling, and mounting frustration about the lack of options for people who have to pay attention to things such as sodium intake and the amount of cholesterol one can have daily–– and if you are Black, it’s worse. “I don’t want to be a bull,” I laughed, “I’m OK being a regular guy.” He proceeded to tell me how men aren't men anymore because we don't eat ginger or take sea moss or black seed oil — and how, if I did these things, I would become a real man who was a superman lover who could easily perform 12 hours of loving with my "queen." “What’s in this?” I asked the ripped-up king of kernels, “Is it healthy?” “Fresh popcorn and nutritional yeast, I make fresh daily and invented myself,” He said, “'Tis beyond health, it is spiritual!” Years passed and I don't remember seeing the dreadlock popcorn dude at the farmers market anymore, but I still attended to get warm ginger drinks, huge chicken and egg breakfast biscuits from Black Sauce, and tote bags full of spinach, beets and other vegetables.
