Popcorn in an air fryer? it's possible!
After seeing this viral trend of air fryer popcorn, we couldn't help but try it out, and the verdict is... Ultra-crispy popcorn in no time! For a movie night at home or an evening watching TV with friends, you'll have popcorn in record time thanks to high-powered air fryer cooking :)\r\nHowever, a few precautions should be taken to avoid damaging your appliance (see notes).
Ingredients
Materials
- Aluminum foil
- Oil spray
- Air Fryer
Preparation
Place aluminum foil on the Air Fryer grid (the one in the tray).
Add the corn.
Add oil (here we've added it with a spray, 4 sprays will do).
Cook in "Maxi Crisp" mode (or an equivalent setting) at 460°F/240°C for 6 minutes.
At the end of cooking, the popcorn may continue to pop, so leave the Air Fryer closed for 2 minutes.
You can then sweeten (or season) and it's ready!
Observations
How do you season popcorn? \r\nYou can simply sweeten it, mix it with \r\ncaramel or chocolate and marshmallows for sweet popcorn.\r\nFor savory popcorn, add salt. You can also season it with \r\ncurry or pizza seasoning for a savory snack.

You can also use a neutral oil (sunflower oil, for example), butter or margarine.\r\n\r\nPlease note:\r\nBefore making this recipe, we were concerned that corn kernels might pop around inside the air fryer and get stuck in the heating element or fan. This hasn't happened to us, BUT it could happen. Stay close to the air fryer throughout cooking. If you see smoke or smell something burning, turn the appliance off immediately! You never know—depending on the model, a problem could arise.
