Air Fryer Jalapeño Poppers with Bacon image

These bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers were my dad's go-to party recipe and always a huge hit! He baked them in the oven, but I've discovered they cook in the air fryer in less than one-fourth of the time!

Provided by Jaymee Sire

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 10 large or 20 small jalapeño poppers

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 large jalapeños (or 10 small to medium jalapeños)
4 to 6 ounces cream cheese, softened slightly
10 slices thick-cut bacon
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Juice from 1/2 lime (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (if preheating is necessary; see Cook's Note for oven directions).
  • Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds (see Cook's Note). Using a small rubber spatula or spoon, fill the jalapeño halves with the cream cheese. If using large jalapeños, wrap each half with 1 slice of the bacon, tucking in the ends. (If using smaller jalapeños, cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise before wrapping.)
  • Place the jalapeños (cream cheese side up) in a single layer in the air fryer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and crispy.
  • Allow to cool slightly and sprinkle with the cilantro and lime juice, if using, and serve!
