To prepare, you can use a stovetop method with a pot and oil, or a dedicated air popper. For stovetop, heat a bit of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add a few kernels to test the temperature; when they pop, add the rest of the kernels in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake it occasionally as the kernels pop. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove from heat. Season as desired.
