Homemade Microwave Popcorn

Homemade popcorn is easy to do and far cheaper than throwing a processed bag into the microwave. Best of all, you can control the type and amount of seasoning.

Ingredients

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil   5 mL
  salt to taste    
1/4 cup popcorn kernels   50 g
2 tsp herbes de Provence   2 g

Before you start

Use a microwave safe bowl that is large enough to contain all the popped kernels (1/4 cup kernels yields about 6 cups of popped popcorn). If you use a glass bowl, make sure it is tempered glass and can handle the high heat.

A vented microwave food cover is needed for this recipe. If the lid isn't vented, intense heat can build up and cause the bowl to explode. Alternatively, you can cover the top of the bowl with parchment paper, secure it with a rubber band, and poke vent holes in the top with a knife.

Method

For more than 2 servings, depending on the size of your microwave oven, you may need to work in batches.

  1. Put the olive oil and a little salt in a microwave safe bowl. Add the popcorn kernels and stir so that the kernels get completely covered with the oil and salt mixture.
  2. Cover the bowl with the vented lid and microwave on 'High' for 3-4 min, or until popping slows to 1-2 seconds between pops. The time will vary depending on your microwave and bowl, so you may need to some trial-and-error testing with the first few batches to figure out how long it takes the popcorn to cook.
  3. Carefully remove the popcorn from the microwave oven (the bowl is hot!), sprinkle with the herbs, and serve.
