Why make popcorn in an air fryer?

Making popcorn in the air fryer is both healthy and convenient. You only need a small amount of oil, and the air fryer pops the kernels evenly without burning them. Plus, you avoid using microwave popcorn bags with unnecessary additives.

How to make popcorn in an air fryer

Step 1

Prep the popcorn:
Häll majskärnorna i en skål och blanda med lite olja och salt.

Step 2

Place in the air fryer:
Lägg popcornen i en värmetålig form eller använd ett perforerat bakplåtspapper för att undvika att kärnorna blåser runt i airfryern.

Step 3

Cook the popcorn:
Ställ in airfryern på 200°C och poppa i 8–10 minuter. Skaka korgen varannan minut för jämn poppning.

Step 4

Serve and enjoy:
Pour the popcorn into a bowl and season to taste. Add melted butter, cheese powder, or chili flakes for extra flavor!

Tips for Making Popcorn in an Air Fryer

To get more kernels to pop, try preheating your air fryer for a couple of minutes before adding the popcorn. Want extra buttery flavor? Spray the popcorn with a bit of melted butter after they’re done!

What About Store-Bought Microwave Popcorn?

Pre-packaged microwave popcorn bags are not recommended for the air fryer. The paper bags and added chemicals can pose a fire risk and may damage your air fryer. Instead, use regular loose popcorn kernels for the best results.
