Popcorn in the Air Fryer

Popcorn in the air fryer is perfect for a movie night at home or a home aperitif with friends. Making popcorn in the air fryer is very simple and the use of oil is optional. It takes a bit more time than the stovetop version, but there are far fewer chances of burning the popcorn, and less oil is used!
