Air fryer popcorn is nice way to enjoy some healthy snack in your air fryer. Making popcorn in air fryer gives you the ability to make a variety of flavors. I will share how to make movie theatre and kettle corn variations while sharing my experience with this snack recipe.
A Pinch of salt (if you find that the salt in that butter isn’t enough)
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400°F / 204°C for 2 mins
Mix oil with popcorn kernels.
Cut a piece of foil, pull out air fryer basket and lay it flat in the center of the basket. Make sure the piece of foil doesn’t cover the whole basket to allow for heat and air circulation. Also be careful not to burn yourself since the basket will be hot. Use oven mitts.
Air fry Popcorn kernels at 400°F / 204°C for 9-10 mins. (If you do not preheat air fry for 12 mins)
Let the popping sound reduce before opening the air fryer.
Make the toppings
While the kernels are popping in the air fryer
Air Fryer Movie Theater Popcorn
Melt butter in the microwave.
Add a pinch of salt then toss popcorn in it and enjoy.
Air Fryer Kettle corn
Melt butter or coconut oil in the microwave.
Mix in powdered sugar and salt, then toss popcorn in the mix
Notes
Preheating the air fryer is optional. However I recommend you do so on your first try. If you decide not to or forget to, 2 extra minute to the cook time.
The nutritional fact is based on the popped corn without the toppings
