Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 medium Jalapenos (sliced in half, seeds and membranes removed, stem preserved)
  • 1 cup Cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
  • 24 slices Bacon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (163°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  3. Generously fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture, about 1 tablespoon each.
  4. Tightly wrap one slice of bacon around each cheese-filled jalapeno half. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
  5. Arrange poppers in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-14 minutes, or until bacon is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

- For less spice, ensure all seeds and white membranes are thoroughly removed from the jalapenos.
- If bacon doesn't hold its shape, use toothpicks to secure it firmly.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and desired bacon crispness.
