LOW CARB JALAPENO POPPERS
I was craving poppers but didn't want super greasy bacon or high carb breading so I invented these... Sometimes instead of the garlic powder and seasoning salt, I use 2 tsp of a product called Johnny's Garlic Spread Seasoning which is just awesome - I buy it at Costco here in Canada. The number of jalapenos varies depending on the size you get and how much spread you put inside each half! Tried it with fat-free cream cheese and it just didn't have a good texture. Have also used shredded taco cheese blend right out of the freezer instead of plain cheddar!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the top of each jalapeno and cut in half lengthwise, then remove the veins and seeds and put aside. Cut each slice of proscuitto in half.
- Mix together the cream cheese, seasonings, and cheddar.
- Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese mixture and wrap with half a slice of proscuitto, making sure that you fold it over the cut off top end so that the cream cheese mixture can't escape!
- Put on baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, until the proscuitto is crispy then serve!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Split jalepeno pepper down the side, but keep the stem in tact (wear gloves).
- With your thumb or a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane leaving a pocket in which to stuff. Blend cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onion, and garlic powder. Stuff each pepper with the cheese mixture and place on a sprayed baking sheet and top with a sprinkle of paprika.
- Bake for about 25 minutes or until the peppers are softened and cheese is melted. Let sit a few minutes for the cheese to set up before eating.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Small to medium-sized jalapeños are ideal for this recipe, as they are the right size for stuffing. Look for peppers that are firm and have a deep green color.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños: Jalapeños contain capsaicin, a compound that can cause a burning sensation on the skin. To protect your hands, wear gloves when cutting and seeding the peppers.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers: To reduce the heat of the peppers, remove the seeds and ribs before stuffing them. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut around the stem and remove the top of the pepper. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
- Use a low-fat cream cheese: To make this recipe healthier, use a low-fat or non-fat cream cheese. You can also use Greek yogurt as a substitute for cream cheese.
- Add your favorite fillings: In addition to cream cheese, you can stuff the jalapeños with a variety of other fillings, such as shredded chicken, ground beef, or vegetables. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Bake the jalapeños until they are golden brown: Bake the jalapeños in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
Baked jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties or gatherings. They are also a great way to use up leftover jalapeños. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and healthy snack that everyone will enjoy.
