Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Halve jalapeños lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes with a small spoon.
- 2
Mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
- 3
Fill each jalapeño half generously with the cheese mixture.
- 4
Wrap each stuffed half with a half-slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- 5
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 370°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until bacon is crispy and peppers are tender.
Tip: For milder heat, soak the seeded jalapeño halves in cold water for 30 minutes before stuffing. Use thin-cut bacon rather than thick-cut so it crisps up properly in the air fryer without overcooking the peppers.
