Step 1

Lightly grease the air fryer basket with olive oil spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir in bacon bits if using.

Step 3

Divide the mixture between the jalapeños (about 1 tablespoon per jalapeño half, depending on their size).

Step 4

Place the peppers in the basket and cook at 375F for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey and the peppers are blistered on the outside.

Step 5

Serve immediately and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
