5-Minute Instant Pot Popcorn – The Easiest Way to Make Popcorn

When it comes to weight loss, popcorn is actually a really good snack option because it’s low in calories and high in fiber and food volume, meaning you can eat a lot of it without adding a ton of calories to your daily intake. This instant pot popcorn recipe is by far the easiest one I’ve tried because the popcorn always turns out perfectly each time, and I don’t get the burnt kernels at the bottom like I usually do when I make popcorn in a regular pan. As an added bonus, you can season it with whatever you like. Personally, I love just a bit of butter, oil and salt but the great part about this recipe is there’s a lot of room for creativity when it comes to seasonings and toppings.
