I love Jalapeno Poppers, but don’t love how long they take to make. I often buy them at the store, but you can save a TON of money by making them yourself, and its SUPER EASY! Using the Air Fryer is amazing for jalapeno poppers because it cooks so quickly and evenly. It takes 10 minutes to make this easy appetizer recipe from start to finish!

I love the Air Fryer! It’s an appliance than can pretty much do it all. I’ve shared so many easy air fryer recipes with y’all, Including Asparagus Fries, Avocado Fries, Air Fryer Hot Dogs and so many other air fryer recipes!

How to make Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers:

  • Make the filling for the jalapeno poppers: Soften cream cheese (microwave 30 seconds), then add salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic to the cream cheese. Add finely grated extra sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey cheese to the cream cheese. Mix with a fork until everything is completely combined.

    These were the most delicious side to our steak. We loved the crunch of the upper and the creamy filling, it was an awesome and super easy side.
