    Can Jalapeno Poppers Be Made in the Air Fryer?

    Yes, you can definitely cook these jalapeno poppers in the air fryer. To do so, follow the directions but arrange in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook at 370 F degrees for about 6-8 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on how crispy you want the bacon and how many poppers can fit in your air fryer. Add more time if needed.

    Tips for Making Jalapeno Poppers

    • Use fresh jalapenos for the best flavor, and if you want them to be a bit spicier, leave the seeds in. Remember not to touch your face until you’ve washed your hands.
    • If you don’t like jalapenos, you could easily substitute them with something else such as sweet peppers.
    • Folding the bacon in half with the fat inside the pepper keeps it from burning, so you’ll end up with juicy, smoky cool strips of bacon instead of crispy burnt ends.
    • Fill the peppers with the cheese before you wrap them in bacon so it will close and cook properly.  If you have difficulty getting your bacon closed, try wrapping it around the stem end of the pepper where it has more “give.”

    Jalapeno Poppers Ingredients

    12 jalapenos, cut in half with seeds and membrane removed
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
