Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix shredded cheese, cream cheese, jalapeños, bacon, and garlic. Scoop out 18 portions, roll into balls, and freeze for 1 hour.

Step 2

Whisk eggs in one bowl. In another, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Place panko in a third bowl.

Step 3

Remove bites from the freezer. Coat each in flour mixture, then egg, then panko. Freeze for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat air fryer to 340°F. Spray with cooking spray. Work in batches, spraying bites with cooking spray and cooking for 7 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 5

Store uncooked bites in the freezer until ready to cook.

Step 6

Let cooked bites cool slightly before enjoying with your favorite dipping sauce (ranch or blue cheese are great options!).
