Keto Easy Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers
How to Make It
Step 1
Start with raw bacon, and dice it into small pieces. Slab bacon or pre-sliced bacon can work. Cook the bacon in a pan on your stove until it’s very crispy. The smaller the pieces of bacon are, the better it will be for the recipe.
Step 2
While the bacon is cooling for a little, use a fork to mash room temperature cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add shredded Mexican blend cheese to the cream cheese, as well as the bacon. Stir the ingredients together until you have an even mixture to fill your jalapenos with.
Step 3
Slice large jalapenos into halves and deseed them. Pack each jalapeno with the cream cheese filling, making sure each pepper is densely filled. Turn on an air fryer to preheat at 350 F (180 C), and arrange the jalapeno poppers on your air fryer tray. Cook the jalapeno poppers for 6-8 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the jalapenos are tender.
