GOSH! What a smart idea! Why didn't I think to use olive oil in place of vegetable oil! I have been air popping for years and tastes like foam peanuts lol! My mom always made popcorn this way but with the veg oil. I can't wait to try it this way. Thanks for sharing this tip! =) Update: The olive oil gives the popcorn a nice flavor, You don't need butter. It tastes great all by itself.

This is the way I like to make it! 1/4-1/3 cup is just right for 1 person. I usually add a little nutritional yeast too-has a cheesy taste but full of B vitamins! Thanks! Made for New Kids on the Block game.
