Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers

🧂 Ingredients

• 6 jalapeno peppers

  cut in half and seeded
• 4 oz softened cream cheese
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 slices bacon

  cut in half

Instructions

• 1 Cut each of your jalapeno peppers in half and scoop out the seeds and any white
  pith. Use gloves to protect your hands, since jalapeno peppers can leave
  capsaicin on your hands if they are not protected.
• 2 Place the jalapeno peppers, cut side up, on a baking sheet or tray. Add the
  softened cream cheese to a small bowl and mix until smooth with a small whisk or
  silicone spatula. If your cream cheese is not soft enough, try microwaving it
  for 10-15 seconds.
• 3 Add the shredded cheese to the blended cream cheese and fold it it until
  completely combined.
• 4 Spoon some of the cream cheese filling into each jalapeno half, and level it off
  with the back of your spoon. Once all of the jalapeno peppers are filled with
  the cream cheese mixture, wrap them in half of a slice of bacon and secure with
  a toothpick.
• 5 Preheat your air fryer to 390F for at least 3 minutes, or according to your
  manufactures instructions.
• 6 Place the bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers into the basket of your air fryer and
  cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the filling is bubbling.
• 7 Remove from the air fryer and place on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with
  the remaining bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers.
• 8 Serve and enjoy!
