Whip up these Air Fryer Stuffed Jalapenos. Cream cheese, shredded cheese and dipped in buttered bread crumbs. The ultimate jalapeno popper recipe.

Provided by Kelsey Apley

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 Jalapenos (or you can buy more)
6 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/3 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon butter (melted)

Steps:

  • Start by slicing your jalapenos in half. If you don't like a lot of heat, you will scoop out the seeds in your jalapeno peppers along with the white membrane.
  • Take your halved jalapenos and rinse them under cold water, to remove the oil.
  • Now in a bowl you will add your cream cheese, shredded cheese, and seasonings and mix until the pepper stuffing is nice and creamy.
  • Spoon the popper filling into the jalapenos and set down.
  • In a small bowl mix your melted butter and bread crumbs until mixed.
  • Take your stuffed peppers and dip into the breadcrumbs. Shake off any excess and place on air fryer rack.
  • Turn air fryer to 325 and cook for 15-20 minutes. You want the bread crumbs on top of the jalapeno poppers to get golden brown.
  • Allow the hot jalapeno poppers to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce.

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.

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.

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!

Tips:

  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeno peppers: The oils from the peppers can irritate your skin. If you do get the oils on your skin, wash it with soap and water immediately.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers. You can use a spoon or a knife to remove the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the peppers with your favorite fillings: There are many different fillings that you can use to stuff jalapeno peppers. Some popular options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, and ground beef.
  • Cook the peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the peppers and the filling that you are using. However, most peppers will need to be cooked for at least 15 minutes.
  • Serve the peppers hot or cold: Jalapeno poppers can be served hot or cold. If you are serving them hot, you can drizzle them with melted cheese or salsa. If you are serving them cold, you can chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
