CRUNCHY AIR-FRIED JALAPENO SLICES
I first had these at a restaurant inside a casino in Tulsa, OK and it was love at first bite. I got to craving them the other day but didn't want the guilt of the deep-fry. I whipped up a batch in the air fryer and they turned out crispier than the deep-fried version. Don't forget the ranch!

AIR-FRIED BACON-WRAPPED SHRIMP
Simple to put together with only 4 ingredients, but big on flavor! I like to use "extra jumbo" size shrimp, which are 16-20 per pound. Cutting the bacon lengthwise into narrow strips makes it easier to wrap. Refrigerating the shrimp, as well as using thin-cut bacon, will prevent the shrimp from overcooking in the time it takes to crisp the bacon.

- Air-fry shrimp for 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until bacon is lightly crispy, 4 to 5 minutes more. You may have to do 2 batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Remove shrimp to a plate and drizzle with hot honey. Serve immediately, being watchful of any toothpicks.

AIR FRYER JALAPEñO POPPERS WITH BACON

Steps:
- Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (if preheating is necessary; see Cook's Note for oven directions).
- Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds (see Cook's Note). Using a small rubber spatula or spoon, fill the jalapeño halves with the cream cheese. If using large jalapeños, wrap each half with 1 slice of the bacon, tucking in the ends. (If using smaller jalapeños, cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise before wrapping.)
- Place the jalapeños (cream cheese side up) in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
- Allow to cool slightly and sprinkle with the cilantro and lime juice, if using, and serve!

Tips:
- Choose the right jalapenos: Look for firm, plump jalapenos with smooth skin and a deep green color. Avoid any jalapenos with blemishes or bruises.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapenos: Jalapenos contain capsaicin, a compound that can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Wearing gloves will help protect your hands from the capsaicin.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos: This will help reduce the spiciness of the jalapenos. If you want to make the jalapenos even milder, you can blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes.
- Use high-quality bacon: The quality of the bacon will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will help give the bacon a nice flavor and texture.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer: If you overcrowd the air fryer, the jalapenos will not cook evenly. Cook the jalapenos in batches if necessary.
Conclusion:
Air fryer bacon-wrapped jalapenos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your air fryer bacon-wrapped jalapenos are cooked perfectly every time.
