Ingredients

  • Popcorn kernels
  • Salted butter
  • Salt

Method

STEP 1

Create a small foil tray that fits neatly inside the air fryer basket to prevent kernels from flying around.

STEP 2

Add the popcorn kernels to the foil tray, then dot with small pieces of salted butter and season lightly with salt.

STEP 3

Air fry at 200°C for 8–12 minutes, stopping once the popping slows significantly.

STEP 4

Carefully remove from the air fryer, discard any unpopped or burnt kernels, then season to taste and serve in a bowl.
