Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers
Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers are an easy, fun 4-ingredient game day snack. These spicy peppers are stuffed with golden-brown cheese and sprinkled with bacon bits.
Equipment
- Food Grade Gloves
Ingredients
- 6 Jalapeno Peppers, medium to large
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 4 ounces Colby Jack or Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 2.5 ounces Bacon Pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 385 degrees.
- Wearing food grade gloves, slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise, and remove all of the seeds.
- In a medium bowl, add the rest of the ingredients, and stir to combine.
- Use a spoon to stuff the mixture into the jalapenos.
- Arrange jalapenos in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and air fry for 6-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly. You may have to air fry in two batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Remove from air fryer, and serve warm.
Christina's Notes
- This Recipe Can be Doubled: If you are looking to make this recipe for a big superbowl party, you can easily double or triple the recipe by proportionally increasing the ingredients.
- Add ins: To the cream cheese mixture, you can also add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, chopped scallions. Hold the poppers together with toothpicks.
- Choose the Right Jalapenos: Look for firm, plump jalapenos with bright green color.
- Seed and Core Carefully: Remove the seeds and membrane to reduce heat, but leave a few for a spicy kick.
- Cheese Choice: Cream cheese is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or goat cheese.
- Breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs create a crispy coating.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the poppers hot and crispy.
