Airfried Jalapeño Poppers
Crispy, Cheesy and less guilt!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 Large Jalapeños
- ½ pkg Cream Cheese softened
- ½ cup Sharp Cheddar freshly grated
- ¼ cup Bacon Bits
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- Garlic Salt and Pepper to taste
- Olive Oil drizzle on top
- ½ cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Wash and prepare the jalapeños. Cut the Jalapeños lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribs. You will be left with a shallow pepper perfect for stuffing.
- Mix the softened cream cheese, sharp cheddar, bacon, dijon, garlic salt and pepper together. I use a fork and slightly smash the ingredients until combined, it will be very thick.
- Stuff the jalapeños with the cheese mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer at 375F for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle the tops of the cheese with olive oil and dip into the panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs into the cheese to get a good crust. I like to use a shallow dish to contain the breadcrumbs.
- Place the finished jalapeños on the air fryer rack and spray with cooking oil.
- Airfry for 16 minutes, they will be crispy and golden brown.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before enjoying.
