AIR FRYER JALAPEñO POPPERS



Air Fryer Jalapeño Poppers image

We have a high bar for jalapeño poppers, and this easy air-fryer version surpasses it. In our books the jalapeño itself needs to be cooked through but still sturdy enough to support all the filling. This recipe calls for large jalapeños, which fit more filling than smaller ones and tend to be sturdier. The molten cheese will not spill out of these poppers thanks to the way they are filled and rested for a few minutes in the air fryer after cooking. Finally, the breadcrumb coating remains crispy for a very long time because of the addition of crushed kettle potato chips.

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 8 servings (24 poppers)

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 large jalapeño peppers (at least 4 inches in length)
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
5 ounces extra-sharp yellow Cheddar, grated
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs seasoned with Pecorino Romano
1/2 cup finely crushed kettle potato chips
Nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons bacon bits or freshly cooked, crumbled bacon

Steps:

  • Working with disposable rubber gloves to protect your skin, halve each jalapeño lengthwise, slicing through the stem. Remove the seeds and white ribs with a spoon or small melon baller. Arrange the halves on a baking sheet rounded sides down. If any of the halves tilt sideways instead of standing straight up, slice a sliver of skin off the rounded side, making sure not to cut through to the cavity, so they sit level.
  • Add the cream cheese and Cheddar to a small bowl and mix together with a rubber spatula until combined. Stir together the breadcrumbs and potato chips in a medium bowl.
  • Divide the cream cheese mixture among the jalapeño halves, smoothing it down with your finger or the back of a butter knife so the filling is level with the top of the jalapeno, not mounded. (You may have extra filling depending on how large your jalapenos are.) Firmly press the breadcrumb mixture over the cream cheese to fully coat. Spray the breadcrumbs with nonstick spray.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F and set to cook for 4 minutes. Arrange the poppers in a single layer in the basket so they're not touching, working in batches if necessary. Air fry the poppers without opening the basket to check on them. When the air fryer turns off, let the poppers sit in the basket for another 4 minutes without opening the machine. (this will allow the poppers to cool slightly and the cheese to set so it doesn't slide out-don't worry, it'll still be gooey.)
  • Carefully open the air fryer basket and remove each popper with a spatula. Serve the poppers sprinkled with the bacon.

KETO AIR FRYER JALAPENO POPPERS



Keto Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers image

Three ingredients and 10 minutes in your air fryer are what's needed to make these keto-friendly, bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers. Try different flavors of cream cheese for variety! Thick-cut bacon does not work well, so use regular bacon. Halving the bacon lengthwise makes it easier to wrap around the peppers.

What are Air Fried Jalapeno Poppers Recipes?

Air fried jalapeno poppers recipes are a popular snack food that combines the spicy kick of jalapeno peppers with a creamy, cheesy filling. Unlike traditional deep-fried jalapeno poppers, air fried jalapeno poppers recipes use a hot air circulation system to cook the peppers, resulting in crispy, crunchy, and healthier snack.

The Ingredients for Air Fried Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

The ingredients for air fried jalapeno poppers recipes vary depending on personal preference and taste. However, the most common ingredients are:
  • Jalapeno peppers
  • Cream cheese
  • Shredded cheese
  • Bacon
  • Bread crumbs
  • Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.)
  • Egg wash

How to Prepare Air Fried Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

To prepare air fried jalapeno poppers recipes, you will need to follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Prep the Jalapeno Peppers
Using gloves or plastic bags to protect your hands, cut off the stem ends of the jalapeno peppers, slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the peppers with cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2: Mix the Filling Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, bread crumbs, and seasonings. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3: Stuff the Peppers
Using a spoon or piping bag, stuff the jalapeno pepper halves with the cream cheese mixture. Be generous with the filling, but take care not to overstuff the peppers, as this can cause them to burst during cooking.
Step 4: Coat with Egg Wash and Breadcrumbs
In a small bowl, beat an egg and a splash of milk to create an egg wash. Dip each stuffed jalapeno pepper in the egg wash mixture and then roll it in breadcrumbs.
Step 5: Air Fry the Jalapeno Poppers
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3-5 minutes. Place the breaded jalapeno poppers in the air fryer basket, and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping once halfway through. The jalapeno poppers are done when the cheese filling is melted and golden brown and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.

Serving Air Fried Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

Once the air fried jalapeno poppers are done, remove them from the air fryer basket with tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
Tips for Making Perfect Air Fried Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

Air fried jalapeno poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. These bite-sized appetizers are filled with cream cheese and topped with cheddar cheese, and are sure to be a hit with anyone who loves spicy and cheesy flavors. In this article, we will explore some valuable tips to ensure that you make the best air fried jalapeno poppers that are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.

Tips for Making Air Fried Jalapeno Poppers

1. Choose the Right Jalapenos
When making air fried jalapeno poppers, it is important to choose the right jalapenos. Look for fresh peppers that are firm, shiny, and free of any blemishes or soft spots. Ensure that they are of a medium size, as larger jalapenos may be too spicy and difficult to stuff. You should also try to select jalapenos that are relatively straight and have a uniform shape, as this will make them easier to cut and stuff.
2. Prepare the Jalapenos
Before you begin stuffing the jalapenos, it is important to prepare them properly. Start by washing the peppers thoroughly in cold water and drying them with a paper towel. Cut off the stem end of the pepper, and then slice it lengthwise down the middle. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes, as this is where most of the heat is concentrated. Be careful not to damage the pepper walls, as this can cause the cream cheese filling to leak out during cooking.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Filling
The cream cheese filling is the heart of the air fried jalapeno poppers. To make the filling, start by mixing softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and any other desired seasonings or ingredients. You can add bacon bits, chopped chives, or minced garlic for extra flavor. Once the ingredients are combined, spoon the mixture into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. This will make it easier to fill the jalapenos.
4. Stuff the Jalapenos
To stuff the jalapenos, simply pipe the cream cheese filling into each pepper half, making sure to fill it all the way to the top. Gently press the filling down with your fingers to remove any air pockets or gaps. Once all the peppers are filled, place them in a single layer on a greased air fryer basket, making sure to leave some space between each one to allow air to circulate.
5. Cook the Jalapeno Poppers
The cooking time for air fried jalapeno poppers can vary depending on the size and thickness of the peppers. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and cook the poppers for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. You can also check the doneness of the poppers by inserting a toothpick into the filling. If it comes out clean, the poppers are cooked.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Once the jalapeno poppers are cooked, remove them from the air fryer basket and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish them with chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or sour cream. These delicious and spicy appetizers are perfect for parties, game nights, or any occasion where you want to impress your guests with your cooking skills.

Conclusion

Air fried jalapeno poppers are a great snack that is easy to make, and even easier to love. By following these valuable tips, you can ensure that your poppers turn out crispy and delicious every time. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and invite your friends over to enjoy the spicy and cheesy goodness together!
