Ingredients Needed For Jalapeno Coins Red Robin Recipe
- Jalapenos (or substitute with mild peppers)
- Flour (or substitute with gluten-free flour)

- Parmesan cheese (or substitute with cheddar cheese)

How To Make Air Fryer Jalapeno Coins Red Robin Recipe
Prep the Jalapenos: Slice fresh jalapenos into ¼-inch thick rounds. Remove seeds for a milder heat, if desired.
Prepare the Coating: Set up a breading station. In one bowl, add flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk an egg or egg wash. In a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Coat the Jalapenos: Dip each jalapeno slice into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure it sticks.
Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the coated jalapeno coins in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
Cook: Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coins are golden and crispy.
Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve with a side of ranch or dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Red Robin Jalapeño Coins Recipe Tips
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer milder jalapeños, remove all the seeds and membranes before slicing. You can also substitute with a milder pepper variety, like poblano.
- Coating Consistency: For extra crunch, double-coat the jalapeño slices by dipping them back into the egg wash and breadcrumbs after the first coat. This will make them extra crispy!
- Even Cooking: To ensure the coins cook evenly, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer, and if needed, cook in batches.
- Air Fryer Variations: Different air fryers cook at slightly different temperatures, so check the coins around the 5-minute mark to avoid overcooking. If needed, adjust the time slightly based on your model.
- Flavor Additions: Experiment with different spices like smoked paprika or cayenne pepper in the breadcrumb mixture for an extra flavor boost!
Storing
- Storing: Store any leftover Air Fryer Jalapeño Coins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Be sure to let them cool completely before storing to maintain their crispness.
- Freezing: To freeze, place the cooled jalapeño coins on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 1 month.
- Reheating: To reheat, air fry the frozen or refrigerated jalapeño coins at 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes, or until they are heated through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
What To Serve With Red Robin Jalapeño Coins Recipe
Air Fryer Red Robin Jalapeño Coins are the perfect appetizer or snack on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a variety of dips and sides to round out your meal. For a classic combo, serve them with creamy ranch or tangy blue cheese dressing to balance out the heat. Guacamole also complements the spicy kick with its smooth texture, while spicy ketchup or sriracha adds an extra layer of flavor. For drinks, a cold beer or a refreshing lemonade makes the perfect pairing to cool down the heat and complete this tasty treat!
Red Robin Jalapeño Coins Recipe Faqs
Can I make these jalapeño coins spicier? 🌶️🔥 Yes! If you want extra heat, leave some of the seeds in the jalapeños or sprinkle a bit of cayenne pepper or chili powder into the breadcrumb mixture for a spicy kick.
Can I use frozen jalapeños? ❄️🥒 Fresh jalapeños work best for this recipe, but if you only have frozen, make sure they are fully thawed and drained of excess moisture before coating and air frying.
How can I make them gluten-free? 🌾🚫 Substitute regular flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs for a delicious, gluten-free version.
Can I air fry them in advance? ⏳🍽️ Yes! You can cook them ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Just reheat them in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes to crisp them back up.
What dips are best with jalapeño coins? 🥑🍶 Ranch, blue cheese, guacamole, or spicy ketchup all make excellent dipping choices to complement the heat and crunch.
