Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Popcorn kernels
• 3 spritzes Olive oil spray
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
• 0.125 teaspoon Paprika (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Measure 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels and set aside.

Step 2

Using an air popper or stovetop popcorn maker, pop the kernels according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If using the stovetop method, add the kernels to a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and heat over medium-high until popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Shake the pot occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 3

Once the popcorn is fully popped, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Spritz the popped popcorn with olive oil spray evenly, tossing the popcorn gently to coat.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt, and if desired, garlic powder and paprika, over the popcorn. Toss again to distribute the seasonings uniformly.

Step 6

Serve immediately for a warm, crunchy, and low-calorie snack.
