Yield: 7 - 10 cups

Ingredients

1/3 cup popcorn kernels
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the popcorn kernels, oil and salt.
Pour the popcorn mixture in a brown paper lunch bag.
Fold over the top of the bag 2 or 3 times to seal in the ingredients. Leave plenty of room for the popped kernels.
Microwave the bag at full power for 2 to 4 minutes, until you hear about 2 seconds between pops.
Carefully open the bag to avoid the hot steam. Pour popcorn into a bowl and serve.

Notes

Make sure to stop the microwave right away after you hear only 2 seconds between pops as the popcorn can burn easily.

Add other seasonings to the popped corn if you would like.

You can spray the popped corn with a little olive oil to help the salt and seasonings stick.
