Brown Bag Microwave Popcorn

Ingredients

For 4 servings

• •1 /2 cup popcorn kernels
• •1 /2 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
• •Kosher salt to taste

Method

1. 1.In a small mixing bowl, add combine popcorn kernels, oil, and salt. Toss well until kernels are evenly coated in oil.
2. 2.Transfer popcorn kernels to a clean brown paper lunch bag. Evenly fold top of bag over by approximately 1.5 inches and then fold each of the top corners of the bag over diagonally. Tear a small tab out of the center of each diagonal fold, and then fold that over as well. This prevents the bag from opening as the popcorn expands.
3. 3.Place the kernel-filled brown paper bag in the microwave and run on high for about 2 minutes, watching carefully the entire time to ensure the bag doesn't smolder or, worse, catch fire. The exact timing will vary depending on the microwave, so be sure to err a little on the un-popped side of things to avoid scorching and burning the popcorn. Serve.
