These Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers (Air Fryer) are a cheesy-good (not fried) appetizer made from The Skinnytaste Air Fryer Cookbook!
Ingredients
6large jalapeños
4oz1/3 less-fat cream cheese
¼cupshredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
⅛cupfine cut chives, or 2 scallions, green tops only sliced
6slicescenter-cut bacon, halved
Instructions
Wearing rubber gloves, halve the jalapeños lengthwise to make 12 pieces, Scoop out the seeds and membranes and discard.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, and scallions. Using a small soon or spatula, fill the jalapeños with the cream cheese filling. Wrap a bacon strip around each pepper and secure with a toothpick.
Preheat the air fryer to 325 F.
Working in batches, place the stuffed peppers in a single layer in the air dryer basket. Cook for about 12 minutes, until the peppers are tender, the bacon is browned and crisp, and the cheese is melted. (For a toaster oven-style air fryer, cook at 300 F; the timing remains the same:)
