Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Popcorn (From Kernels)
Fresh homemade popcorn from dried kernels, popped right in the air fryer basket with just a light spray of oil. It's crisp, fluffy and cheap, and you control the salt and flavor.
Pop a batch for movie night and season with salt, pepper or Parmesan. A foil liner keeps the kernels from slipping through the basket.

Instructions
Line
Cut a piece of foil to fit the bottom of the basket, pressing it up the sides, and poke a few holes.
Add kernels
Add the kernels in a single layer and spray lightly with oil.
Pop
Cook at 390°F for about 8 to 10 minutes. Once popping starts, watch closely and stop when it slows.
Season
Pour into a large bowl and toss with salt and pepper while warm.
- Don't use more than ½ cup of kernels; they need room to pop.
- Stop when pops are 2 seconds apart to avoid burning.
- Try nutritional yeast, cinnamon sugar or chili-lime seasoning.
