    Easy Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers

    Dec 16, 2020 · Leave a Comment

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I was craving jalapenos, so these super easy Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers is what I came up with! I wanted to make my Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno recipe, but I did not have any bacon. Vegetarian jalapeno poppers still taste good without the bacon. This is a cheesy appetizer with a kick to them.  This air fryer jalapeno poppers recipe is also vegetarian for those of you who follow that diet or simply do not want bacon! This easy recipe serves 2 people and should take about 15 minutes to make air frying.

    You can use the oven instead of an air fryer if you do not have one, just place stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet and double the cooking time. Check out reasons to get an air fryer here. It is a glorious invention!

    Recipe Ingredients:

    • jalapenos destemmed, cut down middle and deseeded-removing the seeds makes the pepper less spicy
    • cream cheese-the cheese for stuffing
    • Garlic salt to season-adds flavor

    How to make Jalapeno Poppers in the Air Fryer:

    • prepare jalapenos-cut and remove the seeds from the jalapeno
    • mix ingredients-stir cream cheese and seasoning together
    • stuff peppers-spoon cheese mixture into pepper. You can secure with a toothpick if you would like.
    • air fry-place stuffed peppers in the air fryer basket and air fry until the peppers are slightly charred. Cook time varies on air fryer but roughly 7-10 minutes.

    Tips on how to cut a jalapeno:

    With some of the jalapenos I had, I cut them all the way down the middle and stuffed each half. Other times, I was cutting the jalapenos down the middle but left the bottom intact and stuffed it that way. Either way seems to work for Philadelphia cream cheese stuffed jalapenos!

    Variations of these easy jalapeno poppers:

    • different types of seasonings-I chose garlic salt because it is one of my favorite spices, but any one of your favorite seasonings could work! Just have to see what works best for you in these Philadelphia cream cheese stuffed jalapenos.
    • different type of cheese-If I was going to make a variation of this air fryer jalapeno poppers recipe, I would try ricotta or fresh mozzarella cheese instead of cream cheese.
    • top off with mozzarella cheese-Adding mozzarella to the top would help amplify the cheese flavor.
    • add panko-you can make these crunchy by adding panko on top of the cream cheese.
    • flavored cream cheese-you can make these jalapeno cheese bombers taste more like a jalapeno by adding Philadelphia jalapeno cream cheese. You can use other flavors of cream cheese too if you like.

    How to store jalapenos poppers:

    • fridge-store these stuffed peppers in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week
    • freezer-I have not tried freezing this Philadelphia cream cheese stuffed jalapenos recipe. If you try it, let me know how it goes!
