Q: In effort to reduce fat, I recently purchased a hot air pop corn popper. It works wonderfully. However, it is impossible to get any seasoning to stick to the popped corn.

Any suggestions?

Editor: Mike, we’ve found that even just a tablespoon of olive oil, tossed with popcorn, can help make seasonings and salt stick to the popcorn better. If you’re willing to add just a small amount of healthy fat, spread throughout a whole batch, this will probably significantly help.

Readers, any suggestions for Mike?
