Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Popcorn kernels
- 3 spritzes Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Instructions
Measure 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels and set aside.
Using an air popper or stovetop popcorn maker, pop the kernels according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If using the stovetop method, add the kernels to a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and heat over medium-high until popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the popcorn is fully popped, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Spritz the popped popcorn with olive oil spray evenly, tossing the popcorn gently to coat.
Sprinkle the salt, and if desired, garlic powder and paprika, over the popcorn. Toss again to distribute the seasonings uniformly.
Serve immediately for a warm, crunchy, and low-calorie snack.
