Step 1

Preheat your oven or air frier to 400°F. (If you use an air frier, they may cook faster so be sure to check at 12 minutes or so)

Step 2

Start by prepping the jalapeños. Rinse, dry and slice them in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and set aside. (Note: If you don't like a lot of heat, be sure to remove all the seeds. The easiest way to do this is to rinse them once more and let them dry completely on a towel.)

Step 3

Make the filling by combining the cream cheese, crab, 1 tablespoon of chives, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay, lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl and mixing until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Fill the pepper halves with at least 1 tablespoon of filling each and lay on a baking sheet.

Step 5

Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and peppers are soft. Let sit for at least 5 minutes to cool. Garnish with some extra Old Bay and chives and enjoy!
