How To Make Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers On The Ninja Foodi Grill

To make Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers on the Ninja Foodi Grill, follow these simple steps:

Preheat the Ninja Woodfire Grill for 6-7 minutes, at 375 degrees F, following manufacturer’s instructions.

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, scallions or green onions, potato chips, Kosher salt, and mix well.

Slice jalapenos in half lengthwise, and scape seeds, leaving jalapeno pepper intact.

Pro Tips Ninja Foodi Grill Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

• Use Toothpicks: To prevent the bacon from unraveling during grilling, secure each bacon-wrapped jalapeno popper with toothpicks before placing them on the grill. Be sure to remove the toothpicks before serving.
• Experiment with Fillings: Get creative with the filling by mixing shredded cheese, cream cheese, or even cooked sausage with the jalapeno peppers for added flavor and variety.
• Adjust Grilling Temperature: Depending on your preference for crispiness and heat level, adjust the grilling temperature and time accordingly. Higher temperatures will result in crispier bacon, while lower temperatures will allow the flavors to meld together more slowly.
• Serve with Dipping Sauce: Serve the bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers with a side of ranch dressing, sour cream, or barbecue sauce for dipping to add an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.
