Mom Hack of the Day
Make Cheaper and Healthier "Paperbag" Popcorn in Your Microwave!
Microwave popcorn costs much more than plain popcorn kernels, and has some really unhealthy ingredients. Try making easy popcorn in a paperbag in your microwave!Ingredients- 1/4 to 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt: either kosher, sea, or popcorn salt
- Any flavoring desired (see below)
- Paper lunch bag
Directions
- Mix the kernels with salt and olive oil in a bowl (or put it right in the bag and give it a good shake)
- After putting the mixture in a brown paper lunch bag, fold it a few times tightly (some like to staple it)
- Place the bag in the microwave and cook on high for 2-3 minutes. Stop and check when popping slows down to about 4 or 5 seconds between pops
- Don't leave it unattended, if burned it could catch on fire!
