Ingredients
- 6 to 7 fresh jalapeños
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 12 to 14 slices uncooked bacon
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the seeds and ribs. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then stir in the shredded cheddar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Fill each jalapeño half with the cheesy mixture, spreading it in evenly.
- Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeño. If you’re worried about them unraveling, stick a toothpick through to hold it all together.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and spray the basket lightly with cooking spray. Place your poppers in a single layer (don’t overcrowd!) and spray the tops lightly too.
- Cook for 15 minutes – or until the bacon is crispy and golden. Let them cool for 2–3 minutes.
