Air Fried Jalapeno Poppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Fill each jalapeno half with some cream cheese and Cheddar cheese. Place 1/2 a slice of salami on top of each pepper, wrap with a piece of bacon, and secure with a toothpick, if necessary.
• Layer jalapeno poppers inside of the preheated air fryer and cook until bacon is browned and cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• 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.
• Wrap each jalapeno in 1 strip of bacon.
• 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.
• Enjoy!
