PSA for noone who asked-nutritional yeast
Some love it, some hate it,some have never tried it alone (though is on almost all flavored "snack" chips, Doritos, etc). If you like it, or think is "ok, but a little blah" try adding some smoked paprika, and or a little cayenne pepper. If you don't love "smoke" flavor OR heat just a little of either can intensify it a bit, or a lot with more and you may find it becoming a good low or no salt table or cooking seasoning that works for a lot of things around the kitchen or at the table. Add garlic, onion, etc. all to one jar/shaker as a good all-purpose seasoning base.

Word. Nutritional yeast is pretty much pure umami. It goes well with damn near any savoury dish, when used appropriately I quantity.
My personal favorite use of it is in a mix for roasted cauliflower.
But be careful cause in large quantities it can cause diarrhea.
It's also high in B vitamins, so large quantities can make your pee a highlighter yellow.
