I have an air popper that I haven't used in a long time. I have been buying popcorn already popped like bacon ranch that is delicious but can run $3 a bag. Does anyone know how I can make my own at home? How do I get the seasonings to stick to the popcorn without using oil or butter?

    I use my air popper several times a week. Though I eat mostly unprocessed food, I do admit to spraying I Can't believe It's not Butter on my popcorn as it shoots out of the popper and hits the bowl. 120 calories for 4 cups popped.

    I've used a spray bottle of water just to get it wet enough to hold the seasoning, and if as the last poster does you can spritz it while it's being popped the air should dry it rather than allowing it to soak... don't be heavy handed with the sprays though

    I spray mine with olive oil and add nutritional yeast. My favorite!
