Air fryer popcorn is one of the recipes I tried with my air fryer that cooks dry and without oil, and in some recipes, you can add oil just as a seasoning, avoiding true frying. It’s really an excellent solution.
Of course, with classic frying, there is a slight difference, but you can’t fry the classic way every day, while with this hot air fryer, you can use it every day.
This is a recipe that can be made in a few minutes, just like when cooking on the stove, but here there’s no oil.
The only caution is not to put large amounts in the basket; otherwise, you’ll have the inconvenience of needing to remove the cooked popcorn to let the remaining corn finish cooking.
They cook in 10-12 minutes at a temperature of 392°F.
You’ll see that once you start using this kind of machine, cooking without fats will definitely benefit your health.
These hot air fryers are easier to clean, and there’s no grease to remove.
If you make any of my recipes, send me photos, and I’ll publish them on my page with your name.
For now, I recommend buying a good air fryer like mine and experiment with new recipes every day!
