Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • rotating basket (optional)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels

Extra

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • salt

  • If you wish, fry them without or with oil. You may add salt and butter for a different flavor.
  • Set the air fryer at 400ºF (204ºC) for 8 minutes.
  • Listen as popcorn kernels pop, but when they are popping slowly, don't continue cooking because they're done.
  • Pour into a bowl and enjoy. In case you desire a spicy flavor, sprinkle chili powder or hot sauce on top.
