Did you know that you could make microwave popcorn in a brown paper bag?
Well, I didn’t either until just recently. I was thrilled to discover this as an option to make some quick and easy microwave popcorn! The store bought microwave popcorn isn’t always the healthiest choice, plus there is now talk if microwave popcorn releasing harmful chemicals from the packaging. Yikes, right?
I couldn’t believe how simple it was to make your own microwave popcorn!
All you need is: (adapted from this recipe)
- a brown paper lunch bag (10 5/8″ x 5 1/8″ x 3 1/8″)
- 1/4 cup un-popped popcorn kernels
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- scotch tape
place kernels into the brown paper bag. fold the bag over twice and seal with tape.
place bag into microwave (can be on it’s side or up-right). cook on high for 2-3 minutes or until the popcorn pops are 3-5 seconds in between pops. Remove from microwave and shake before opening. Once popped*, open the bag and drizzle with olive oil and salt while shaking bag.
*you can also add the olive oil and salt to the kernels before before you pop them, just keep in mind that the oil can seep through the bag. also, you can of course substitute butter for the oil, I like olive oil because it is a little bit healthier.
enjoy!
