Step-by-Step Instructions
- Slice the jalapeños lengthwise, carefully removing the seeds and veins to reduce their heat. Lightly rub each half with oil and place them in a greased air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Set your air fryer to 400°F and cook the prepared jalapeños for 4 minutes. Remove them and let cool for about 5 minutes, placing them on paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the half and half until smooth. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Generously fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture, ensuring enough filling for a satisfying bite. Top with additional cheese and bacon crumbles.
- Return the stuffed jalapeños to the air fryer and cook at 400°F for an additional 5 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Once removed from the air fryer, sprinkle sliced green onions over the top for a fresh garnish. Serve warm.
