Servings: 10 poppers
Calories: 82kcal
Ingredients
- 5 medium jalapenos
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 Tbsp green onions chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Slice the jalapenos in half, leaving the stems on. Using a knife or small spoon, cut out the seeds and membranes to hollow out the jalapenos.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sharp cheddar, green onions, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each jalapeño pepper.
- In another small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter, then mix well until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
- Dip the poppers into the panko mixture to coat the top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Bake in your air fryer at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for 5–7 minutes, until the panko is golden brown.
- Finally, remove from the air fryer, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
STORE leftover Air Fryer Jalapeño Poppers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2–3 days. I don’t recommend freezing them, as it can affect the texture and make them less crispy.
To REHEAT, you can warm them in your microwave until heated through, though they may lose some of their crunch. For a slightly crisper result, reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
