Sea Salt and Black Pepper Air-Popped Popcorn
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tablespoons popcorn kernels
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Add popcorn kernels to a brown paper lunch bag (or an air popper), and fold the bag down from the top (about 1/2-inch folds) 2-3 times to prevent bag from opening.
Microwave the popcorn on high for approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds, or until popping slows.
Drizzle olive oil in the bag, along with salt and pepper, and shake well to coat.
