Our kitchen is so tiny and we don't have room for a microwave, so we do oil-popped kernels in a pan. Which is good. But this method right here is a game changer. No clean-up required and you save about 25 calories per cup! Yeah, I think we'll be moving aside some appliances for a microwave pronto!
Air Popped Microwave Popcorn
(serves 2)
Pour 1/2 cup popcorn kernels into a brown paper bag. Fold the top over two times so the kernels don't escape. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until popping slows down. Careful opening the bag! Add salt and seasonings of your choice.
Have fun experimenting with this - I know I'm going to try all sorts of seasonings like cayenne + cumin or cinnamon + brown sugar or red pepper flakes + grated cheese! How do you make your popcorn?
"poppy" haha :)
ReplyDeleteyummm...i can't believe i've never thought of this!
ReplyDeleteAHH this is too sweet! I did this with carmel popcorn my first week of foods class freshman year! I too am OBSESSED with popcorn. Any person from any point in my life will remmeber that one thing about me, I was devistated when i had to get braces and popcorn was on the top of the "NO" list.
ReplyDeleteWHAT?! That's it? Is it really that simple? I'm a popcorn junkie too (usually with loads of tabasco dashed on) and I pop it in oil on the stove because microwave popcorn here is crazy expensive, and doesn't really taste that good. But if this is all I have to do to microwave my popcorn, I'm definitely trying this! You're a genius! That's why I gave you a shout out on my blog post yesterday :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't even know you could do this. I usually just make oil popped popcorn over the stove, but this sounds much easier and healthier. My favorite popcorn is made with rosemary oil, and salt & black pepper sprinkled on top.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is popping us some kernels asi type this! I'm so excited about it, thank you!!
