Brown-Bag Microwave Popcorn

Brown-Bag Microwave Popcorn delivers light, crisp kernels with a clean, toasty corn flavor and just a hint of salt. A touch of oil helps the seasoning cling while keeping the snack airy and satisfying. It’s perfect for movie nights, quick after-school nibbles, or an easy, customizable treat whenever a crunchy bite calls.

    In a cup or small bowl, stir together the unpopped popcorn and oil.

    Transfer the coated corn to a brown paper lunch bag, sprinkle in the salt, then fold the top of the bag over twice to seal the ingredients inside.

  4. 4

    Microwave on full power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until there are about 2 seconds between pops; open the bag carefully to avoid steam, then pour into a serving bowl.
