These Keto Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers are the perfect low-carb snack or appetizer, packed with creamy cheese and a hint of heat, all wrapped in savory turkey bacon for a delicious crunch. They’re gluten-free and keto-friendly!

Ingredients:

  • 6 large jalapeño peppers, halved and seeds removed
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 slices turkey bacon (or any keto-friendly bacon)
  • Optional: fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven or Air Fryer: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
  2. Prepare Jalapeños: Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and membranes (use gloves to avoid irritation).
  3. Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Stuff the Jalapeños: Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed-out jalapeño halves. Be generous with the filling, making sure each half is filled evenly.
  5. Wrap with Bacon: Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a slice of turkey bacon, securing it with toothpicks if necessary.
  6. Cook: Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or cook in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven or air fryer and allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
