Tips:

  • Choose the right jalapeños. Look for firm, plump jalapeños that are deep green in color. Avoid any jalapeños that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Wear gloves when handling jalapeños. The capsaicin in jalapeños can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves when you're cutting them. If you do get capsaicin on your skin, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños. This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers. You can use a spoon or a knife to remove the seeds and ribs.
  • Stuff the jalapeños with your favorite fillings. There are many different fillings that you can use for jalapeño poppers, such as cheese, bacon, sausage, or seafood. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Bake or fry the jalapeño poppers. You can bake or fry jalapeño poppers, depending on your preference. If you're baking them, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're frying them, heat a pot of oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the jalapeño poppers hot. Jalapeño poppers are best served hot, so make sure to serve them immediately after they're cooked.

Jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering.
