Keto Jalapeno Poppers
These Keto Jalapeno Poppers are loaded with two kinds of cheese and wrapped in pepper bacon! This easy low carb appetizer can be made in the oven, on the grill or in the air fryer!
Ingredients
- 6 large fresh jalapeño peppers sliced in half and seeded
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 2 tablespoons green onions chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 6 slices bacon see notes below
Instructions
- Carefully slice the peppers. Remove the seeds and membranes from the pepper and discard. Be careful not to touch your eyes while working with the peppers.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, worcestershire, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Place a spoonful of the filling in each pepper slice.
- Wrap half a slice of bacon around each popper and secure with toothpicks.
- Oven Method: Place on a baking sheet and bake 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
- Air Fryer Method: Place in the basket of an air fryer and cook at 390 degrees F for 8-10 minutes until the bacon is crisp. Depending on the size of the air fryer you may need to do this in batches.
- Grill: Heat a grill to medium high heet (about 400 degrees F) Place the poppers on the grill and reduce the heat to medium (between 350-375 degrees F) and cook for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is crisp.
Notes
- Thin cut bacon is preferable, as it cooks quicker. However, if you have thick cut bacon on hand simply take the slice of bacon and gently stretch it (be careful not to tear), then slice the bacon in half and wrap around each popper
- I used pepper bacon in this recipe, but you can use your favorite variety.
