Air Fryer Maple Popcorn

An air fryer is a magical appliance. It’s like a toaster oven and deep fryer all in one. The best part is that it doesn’t use a lot of oil, so your food doesn’t come out greasy.

I DO NOT POP POPCORN however in my air fryer! But I do make a lot of popcorn recipes in my air fryer. I personally feel that it’s a safety concern because if one of the popcorn hits the air fryer fan or heating element, it might break your air fryer, or cause a fire. So, I do not recommend it, I believe that most of us, love our air fryers, but we still need to use some microwave popcorn.
