Jalapeño Poppers
By: Ninja Kitchen Australia

Jalapeño Poppers

Savour the perfect blend of creamy cheese and spicy jalapeño in these crispy, oven-baked poppers. Ideal for a cosy night in or a small gathering, these bites offer just the right kick of heat balanced with a smooth, cheesy filling.

Methods

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar and salt.

  2. Using a small teaspoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, ensuring you don’t overfill.

  3. Place two filled jalapeño halves together to form a whole, then wrap each with a half bacon rasher. Repeat with the remaining jalapeños.

  4. Insert the crisper plate into the air fryer basket and place the basket in the Ninja Air Fryer Max. Preheat by selecting the AIR FRY function, setting the temperature to 180°C, and setting the time to 3 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin.

  5. After 3 minutes, place the jalapeños on the crisper plate, then reinsert the basket. Select AIR FRY, set the temperature to 180°C, and the time to 15 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking.

  6. After 7 minutes, press START/STOP to pause cooking. Remove the basket, rotate the jalapeños to ensure the bacon crisps evenly, then reinsert the basket and press START/STOP to resume.

  7. When cooking is complete, remove the jalapeños and let them cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
