These homemade jalapeño poppers are filled with creamy cheese, wrapped in bacon, and air fried until crispy and golden. They’re quick, simple, and taste amazing whether you’re hosting a party or making a fun family snack.
Wearing disposable gloves, cut the jalapeños in half and remove the cores, seeds, and membranes inside. Be careful not to touch anything that isn’t going to be washes and especially don't touch your face or other sensitive areas. When you're finished, throw the gloves away and wash your hands immediately.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, and ranch seasoning.
Spoon cheese mixture into each pepper half.
Wrap each half with a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
Place poppers in a single layer in the air fryer basket with a little space around each one. You may have to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer basket.
Air fry jalapeno poppers at 380ºF for 8 minutes or until bacon is cooked to your liking.
