Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers Recipe
Prep 10 min Cook 10 min Serves 20 Source

Ingredients

  • 10 jalapeno peppers
  • 5 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 5 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon preferred seasonings (I use a mix of cayenne, paprika and garlic - try taco seasoning)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 20 slices bacon (thin cut)

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon.

  3. 3

    Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and seasonings to a bowl and mix well.

  4. 4

    Fill each jalapeno pepper half with the spicy cheese mixture. You might have some leftover, depending on the size of your peppers. Just distribute evenly.

  5. 5

    Wrap each stuffed jalapeno boat with a slice of bacon. Pierce with toothpicks to hold the bacon in place, if needed.

  6. 6

    Air fry the jalapeno poppers for 10-12 minutes, or until bacon crisps up to your preference. You may need to do this in batches, depending on your air fryer brand.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat, cool slightly, and serve.
