Did You Know You Could Use An Air Fryer To Make These Recipes?

large jalapeñoes

cream cheese

shredded sharp cheddar cheese

kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

bacon

Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (160°C).

Wearing latex gloves, slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the seeds and membrane.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper with a rubber spatula. Transfer the cheese mixture to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.

Pipe the cream cheese filling into each jalapeño half.

Working in batches, place half of the poppers in the air fryer and fry for 8–10 minutes, until the bacon is crispy. Repeat with the remaining poppers.
