Ingredients
 

  • 10 jalapeno peppers halved, seeded and ribbed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 10 slices bacon halved

Instructions
 

  • Cut jalapenos in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and ribs.
  • Mix softened cream cheese, garlic powder, cumin and salt. Taste and add more seasoning, if desired.
  • Fill each jalapeno half with filling. Wrap jalapenos in bacon. Secure with a toothpick, if necessary.
  • Spread the peppers out in the air fryer basket. Cook at 360 degrees for 10-12 minutes, checking half way through.

Notes

  • Don’t forget to wear your kitchen gloves when cutting and deseeding jalapenos!
  • Keep in mind that every air fryer cooks a bit different so yours may require more or less time.
  • You can use a full piece of bacon to wrap the jalapenos if you want. It will give more coverage, but adds extra calories and fat.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
