Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
  • 1/2 teaspoon cooking oil optional
  • Salt to taste
  • Aluminum foil for lining optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  • Line the Basket: Line the basket with aluminum foil, leaving space for air circulation.
  • Measure the Kernels: Use 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels and spread them evenly in the basket.
  • Cook the Popcorn: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 8-9 minutes. Shake the basket every 2 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  • Season and Serve: When the popping slows, remove the basket, let it rest for 30 seconds, then add your favorite seasonings and serve.

Notes

  • Oil: Adding oil after popping helps seasonings stick better.
  • Variations: Try different seasonings like ranch, cinnamon sugar, or sriracha lime.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
