    Yep, that is me. I am a fully admitted snack-o-holic.

    These air fryer jalapeno poppers are a snap to make and they taste even better than their store bought frozen counterparts!

    This recipe is adaptable too! If you are gluten-free you can use gf panko crumbs (Like Ian's Brand).

    If you are dairy-free or vegan, just sub out the cream cheese for dairy-free/vegan cream cheese!

    3. Gently press the tops of the peppers into the remaining ¼ c of crumbs to create the top coating.

    Air Fryer Jalapeno Popper Tips

    Jalapeno Tips: Remove all the seeds and white membrane (unless you like things spicy!) Its optional to wear gloves or just be careful after cutting and deseeding these jalapenos.

     It works best to use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and membrane. 

    If you are gluten-free you can use gf panko crumbs (Like Ian's Brand).

    If you are dairy-free or vegan, just sub out the cream cheese for dairy-free/vegan cream cheese!

    Love meat? Add some bacon to your air fryer jalapeno poppers! Wrap the bacon slice tightly around the jalapeno popper so it doesn't shrink during cooking.

    You will need to increase your cook time from 6-8 minutes to 10-12 if you add bacon.

    Low Carb/Keto? To make your air fried jalapeno poppers low carb/keto you can skip the breadcrumbs and parsley.

    You will use the cream cheese, add in some shredded cheddar and bacon crumbles. Cook at directed within the recipe.

    Freezable- Make a double batch of these poppers and freeze some for later. When you are ready to make pop them out directly from the freezer and into your air fryer.

    Add 1-2 minutes of additional cook time for frozen poppers.

    This recipe was made in a Cosori Air Fryer with a Basket. The recipe should work in other air fryers.

    Keep in mind that each air fryer runs differently, it is important to check your food often.

    If you have a Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven or a Ninja Basket Air Fryer, both of these units seem to run "hotter" than most air fryers. That means you will need to LESSEN the cook time.
