Ingredients

Jalapeños
12 large jalapeño peppers, halved and seeded
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp smoked paprika
Wrapping
12 slices thin-cut bacon, halved crosswise
toothpicks for securing

Equipment

  • Oil Sprayer Mister

Steps

  1. 1

    Halve jalapeños lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes with a small spoon.

  2. 2

    Mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.

  3. 3

    Fill each jalapeño half generously with the cheese mixture.

  4. 4

    Wrap each stuffed half with a half-slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

  5. 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.
