Step 1

Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and veins with a small spoon. Line them on a baking tray and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the cheese and green onions and gently mix until incorporated.

Step 3

Using a teaspoon, fill the halves of the peppers with the cream cheese mixture, mounding slightly.

Step 4

Wrap a slice of bacon around a pepper, tucking the loose ends underneath the pepper. Repeat until all the peppers have been wrapped in bacon.

Step 5

Preheat an air fryer to 375°F. Place the poppers in the basket in a single layer and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bacon is cooked.

Step 6

Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the poppers in batches. Transfer the cooked poppers to a baking sheet and keep warm in an oven preheated to 175°F.
