How To Cut The Jalapeno Peppers

If you have never worked with Jalapeno Peppers before you’ll be happy to know that they are very easy to cut and use in dishes.

The key is to use a sharp knife. For these air fryer jalapeno poppers, you can leave the stems on or cut them off. Then slice the jalapenos in half.

Most of the heat of the pepper comes from the seeds. So depending on how hot you want the end dish, remove some or all of the seeds.

Step 2: Add filling to jalapenos

Stuff the mixture into the jalapeno peppers. Wrap the bacon around it.

NOTE: I found out that after doing a few, just wrap it horizontally around the pepper. If you are having a hard time making the bacon stay put in the air fryer, simply use a toothpick.

Step 3: Air Fry stuffed jalapeno poppers

Preheat the air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes at 370 degrees F. Cook in an air fryer at 370 degrees F for 6-8 minutes. Check and cook an additional 2 minutes if needed or until you reach desired crispiness.

Pro Tips For Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos

  1. For cutting the jalapeno peppers, you can either leave the stem on or off. I prepared it both ways, and I prefer to leave the stem on, because it gives your guests something to hold, while they are eating it.
  2. To remove all of the seeds, use a small spoon, if you want an extra kick, simply leave some seeds in. Or prepare them both ways, so your guests have a choice of extra spicy or not.
  3. Room temperature cream cheese works best. I usually leave the cream cheese on the counter for about 30 minutes, before preparing these.
  4. Use any variety of spices that work with you, Today, I used classic onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley, but you can easily change that out, for your favorites.
  5. It’s easiest to make bacon wrapped cream cheese jalapenos with half slices of bacon. Otherwise, it won’t cook evenly.
  6. Do not overcrowd the stuffed jalapeno peppers. You need to leave some space in the basket to allow the air to circulate properly.

Storage And Reheating:

Make-Ahead: Bacon wrapped cream cheese jalapenos are easy to make ahead of time.

For best results, assemble them as directed and then use plastic wrap to wrap them before refrigerating overnight. Then make this jalapeno poppers air fryer recipe as directed.

Freezing: This jalapeno poppers air fryer recipe is freezer friendly too! Make them as directed, place them on a baking sheet, and pop them into the freezer until frozen solid. Then you can either store them in a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container. Then you can air fry them, from frozen. You will need to add a few more minutes to the cooking time.

Reheating: Leftovers (if any) reheat pretty well in the microwave or air fryer the next day. Spray the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos with cooking spray or brush on some olive oil. Then heat until warmed through for best results.

What Model Of Air Fryer Do I Need To Make Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers?

These bacon wrapped cream cheese jalapenos will work with any air fryer that you own. I have made them in my Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, Ninja Foodi, and Cosori.

You may have to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

How Do I Prevent Jalapeno Juice From Burning Me?

I would strongly recommend that you invest in a pair of gloves, (affiliate link) because you DO NOT want to get the seeds or oils in your eye, or on your face, especially if you are making these with any children.

Can These Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Jalapenos Be Made In The Oven?

Yes, if you want to use your oven for cooking these jalapeno peppers, place the jalapeno peppers into a preheated 400 degree F oven, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
