Notes
Here are some important notes to consider when making Air Fryer Popcorn:
It's important to preheat the air fryer before adding the popcorn kernels. This ensures that the air fryer is at the right temperature and produces perfectly popped popcorn.
Use a single layer of popcorn kernels to ensure that they all pop evenly. If you use too many kernels, some may not pop properly, while others may burn.
Don't skip the step of letting the popcorn sit in the air fryer for a further 30 seconds. This allows any excess popping to finish, and it also helps the popcorn to cool slightly before being removed from the air fryer.
Be careful when removing the popcorn from the air fryer as it will be hot. Allow it to cool for a minute or two before tossing it with salt and your favorite seasonings.
