Instant Pot Popcorn

For as long as I can remember, my love for popcorn came from my time at movie theaters. But let's be honest - movie theater popcorn is expensive, and I've actually learned over the years that I prefer homemade popcorn.

You can easily add your favorite popcorn seasonings, which can be so many flavors. Think cheddar, cinnamon powder, chili powder, and more.

A lot of times, people will make fresh popcorn kernels on the stove, but I prefer the Instant Pot. Is there nothing that the Instant Pot can't do? It's the best!  

What do I need to make Instant Pot popcorn?

It's so easy to make this gluten-free popcorn.

• popcorn kernels
• oil

You will also need a glass lid like this 1.

You can use whatever oil you like, some of my favorites are olive oil, canola oil, or avocado oil. You can also use vegetable oil or a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil or butter.

Once you hear that popcorn pop, you know that it's almost time for you to sprinkle on your popcorn seasoning and enjoy!

I love to toss in cinnamon sugar for a sweet treat or use a little cayenne or curry powder to jazz it up the taste.

Seriously, not at all. Using the pressure cooker is one of the best ways to make sure that all the kernels get popped all the way.

You have options. Some people store them in the cabinet, while others will keep the min the fridge. I think that storing them in a mason jar or airtight container is the best way to store them and keep them nice and fresh.
