Pro Tips
- Make sure to cook popcorn kernels in small batches if you’re making a large amount. This will allow your popcorn to pop properly.
- Shake the air fryer basket every once in a while as the popcorn cooks. This will allow for a more even cooking while also giving any unpopped kernels a chance to fall to the bottom and pop.
- After it cooks, let the popcorn sit for a few seconds before taking the basket out of the air fryer. There might still be a few kernels there that are about to pop.
- Don’t mind any unpopped kernels. Just like when you cook popcorn on the stovetop or in the microwave, you're bound to be left with some when you try this air fryer recipe. Just cook the kernels again or discard them and start with fresh ones instead.
