Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Aluminum Foil
  • Aluminum Steam Pan

Ingredients

  • 1/4 tsp Oil (canola, coconut, avocado, olive)
  • 1/4 cup Popcorn Kernels
  • 1/8 tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 400 F.
  • Toss popcorn kernels, oil and salt in a disposable aluminum steam pan. Cover the top with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil bulges in the centre to allow the kernels to pop.
  • Place pan in the air fryer and cook for 4-5 minutes. Listen carefully to the popping and once they start to infrequently pop remove the tray to ensure the popcorn does not burn.
  • Pick out popped popcorn and set aside in large mixing bowl. Return pan filled with unpopped kernels to air fryer, being sure to secure with tin foil again.
  • Cook 3 minutes, then remove. Pick out popped popcorn and add to large bowl. Discard any remaining unpopped kernels.
  • Toss and serve immediately.
  • Feel free to add additional flavourings like melted butter, flavoured popcorn seasonings, grated parmesan cheese, dried chives, onion & garlic powder, chili powder or nutritional yeast.
