Air fryer Jalapeno Poppers
These air fryer jalapeno poppers are an addictively delicious appetizer. Cheesy and gorgeous, these are low carb and keto friendly.
Ingredients:
- 6 jalapenos split into halves
- 4 oz. cream cheese or vegan cream cheese about 110 gm.
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded or vegan cheese
- 1 tsp. italian seasoning
- ½ tsp. pepper
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
Directions:
- Choose bright green jalapenos. Cut each in half using a sharp knife. Then with a spoon remove the veins and seeds from each half.
- Wear gloves while doing this.
- Now keep them aside.
- Mix together cream cheese or vegan cream cheese or Greek (or plant-based) yogurt with grated cheddar cheese or vegan cheese, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt.
- It is delicious so I did try a few tastes.
- Fill each half of the jalapeno with this filling. I took about 1 tbsp. filling for each half.
- Line air fryer basket with parchment paper. I just use scissors to cut them to size.
- You can use perforated ones like these too.
- Lay jalapeno poppers with topping side up. Keep space between them.
- Air fry at 180C or 360F for about 6-8 minutes till the cheese is golden brown and the jalapeno poppers are done.
- Carefully remove them onto a plate and serve hot. It is really delicious.
- You can serve with a dip of choice.
- Preheat oven at 425F. Bake for about 15 minutes at 425F till they are golden brown on top.
