Ingredients and Substitutions
Jalapeño peppers. I prefer using fresh jalapeños but pickled jalapeños can also be used. Cream cheese. Cheddar cheese. Use mature/sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor. Crispy bacon. I cooked the bacon in the air fryer until crisp. Chives. Other herbs like parsley, basil or oregano will also be delicious. Spices: Salt, pepper and garlic powder. For the breading: Flour, eggs and bread crumbs. You can skip the breading step and press the seasoned bread crumbs on top of the cheese layer if you wanted to skip a few steps.
How to make jalapeño poppers in the air fryer
Can I make this ahead?
The jalapeño poppers can be assembled and kept on a plate in the fridge for up to 2 hours before air frying. Any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer. I used the Instant Vortex Versazone with ClearCook air fryer and as is the case with all Instant Vortex air fryers, it is absolutely fantastic. The generous basket size can be split into two, giving you separate cooking zones. If you’re cooking for a family, this huge air fryer basket makes weeknight meals a breeze. It’s also perfect if you’re cooking for a crowd because you can cook loads of poppers, chicken nuggets, nachos, etc. at once.
