If you look at the wrapper of microwave popcorn you will discover countless suspicious additives. If you actually open the package before preparation, you will also find out what all these ingredients look like before the microwave melted them.
Making popcorn at home using the traditional method is an excellent way to snack that is not so fattening and not so terrible, but for those who are afraid of popping pots and flames, Lassie Rose, naturopath and expert in healthy cooking, has a great recipe for real popcorn, one that is made from clean kernels, but in the microwave. And because we didn't come to serve you only health, Rose also brought a little spoiled treat for the soul, which is also not bad at all compared to the amount of popcorn that comes out afterwards.
So what are you waiting for?
A few notes: it's important to stand near the microwave and hear the popcorn pop. When they become less and less, the microwave must be stopped. Each device has a different power, and you have to learn it little by little.
The cover for the microwave in the recipe is the well-known cover that is sold in every houseware store to prevent spillage of food. This nimble wonder is part of "Microwave", a new series of recipes and Tik Tok videos by Sogat Vazhabi, designed to bring network hits into all of our home kitchens.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of corn for popcorn
A tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter
A pinch of salt
For flavored popcorn: two tablespoons of powdered sugar with half a teaspoon of cinnamon, two tablespoons of powdered sugar with half a teaspoon of sweet or hot paprika, and also a sprinkling of maple syrup or honey on everything, for those who want .
Instructions:
1. Crush baking paper with both hands and flatten it on a large flat plate.
2. Drizzle the olive oil on the baking paper and sprinkle all the dry corn kernels over it. Pay attention, it is important that they are all in the same layer, side by side.
3. Sprinkle a little salt and put the plate in the microwave, covered, for three minutes on high heat. It's best to stay around and listen to the popping of the popcorn inside, because the power of the microwave is what will affect the cooking time of your popcorn. Therefore, as soon as the noise of the popcorn explosions decreases, turn off the microwave and check the condition of the popcorn.
4. When the popcorn is ready, carefully remove it from the microwave using a towel or baking gloves and transfer it to a large, wide bowl.
5. If you want toppings, sprinkle the powdered sugar with the cinnamon or paprika on top, and if you really want to make it even more decadent, sprinkle a little honey.
