Breading

  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl and stir until evenly combined. *Wait to make the breading until after you've made the filling and stuffed the jalapenos.

How to Assemble and Cook the Jalapeno Poppers

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut the jalapenos in half the long way. Scrape out the inside seeds and veins, and discard them. If you want the poppers to be extra spicy, feel free to leave some of the seeds in the jalapeno.
  • Evenly distribute the filling amongst the jalapeno halves.
  • Evenly distribute the breading on top of the filling and lightly press it down.
  • Place the jalapeno halves in your air fryer; depending on how tender you want them, air fry them for 8 to 10 minutes, rotating them halfway through.
  • Eat alone, or serve with a dipping sauce such as raspberry jam!
