How to make popcorn

Corn is a healthy food packed with many important nutrients that are beneficial to your health. Some important vitamins and minerals found in corn kernels include B1, B3, B6, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, etc. Roasted corn is very low in calories and has a low energy density, but in return it is rich in fiber, so eating it in moderation will not only prevent weight gain but can also help with healthy weight loss.

Fresh, good quality corn kernels are round, shiny, and undamaged.

With this air fryer popcorn recipe, the popcorn is still crispy and delicious, with guaranteed quality, just like the popcorn made with the simple popcorn popping tools of the 1980s, but elevated by the seasonings used to create the popcorn of today. Interestingly, this popcorn has become an indispensable treat at movie theaters.

Good quality dried corn should also have round, shiny kernels that are not damaged.

Ingredients needed to make popcorn

- 60g of dried corn kernels (you can buy them at the market or in supermarkets/grocery stores), or you can buy fresh corn, scrape off the kernels, and dry them until they are completely dry before using them to make popcorn.

You can buy them at the market or in supermarkets and grocery stores, or you can buy fresh corn, shell it, and dry the kernels until they are completely dry.

- 113g unsalted butter

- 5ml pure vanilla extract

- 4 grams of baking soda

- 30ml sugar syrup or honey

- 220g brown sugar and a pinch of salt

How to make popcorn using an air fryer

Step 1: Roast the corn until cooked.

Preheat your air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes to ensure even heating. Once the air fryer is hot, place the corn kernels in the basket and use a spoon to lightly drizzle a thin layer of oil over them to prevent burning. Roast the corn kernels at 230 degrees Celsius for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 2: Open the lid of the air fryer, remove the frying basket, and pour the roasted corn into a bowl.

Step 3: Next, to make popcorn, put butter in an air fryer, heat it up, then add brown sugar and stir well. Next, add honey and sugar syrup and stir well. Finally, add pure vanilla extract and stir it into the mixture. Remember to stir constantly until the mixture boils. Then, add baking soda and salt, stirring until all the ingredients are completely combined. Pour the freshly cooked caramel into the bowl containing the roasted corn and mix thoroughly so that all the corn is coated with the caramel sauce.

Lightly grease the bottom of the air fryer with cooking oil, then pour in the corn and caramel mixture, spreading it evenly throughout the fryer. Close the lid and set the air fryer to 100°C for 20 minutes.

Step 4: Once again, drizzle a thin layer of cooking oil onto the bottom of the air fryer. Pour the corn mixture with caramel into the air fryer and spread it evenly. Close the air fryer lid and set the cooking time to 100°C for 20 minutes.

Note that if the corn doesn't pop after a while, it might be because the heat isn't sufficient; increase the temperature to achieve the desired effect.

Step 5: The finished popcorn

After the air fryer turns off, pour the popcorn onto a plate and enjoy. This caramel-flavored popcorn isn't an unfamiliar snack to many. However, using the traditional method of frying popcorn might require a lot of oil, resulting in a greasy taste that's difficult to eat in large quantities.

To keep your popcorn crispy and lasting longer, wait until it has completely cooled before placing it in a sealed bag and storing it at room temperature.
