For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the cream cheese mixture. Adjust the cooking time based on your air fryer model and the size of the jalapeño poppers. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the halved and seeded jalapeños in ice water for 30 minutes before filling to reduce the heat. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or a spicy aioli.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C) following the manufacturer's directions. (Approximately 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded Cheddar cheese until well blended.
03
StepEvenly distribute the cheese mixture among the jalapeño halves, filling each one generously.
04
StepPlace ¼ slice of salami on top of the cheese filling in each jalapeño half.
05
StepWrap each filled jalapeño half with a halved strip of bacon, ensuring the bacon covers as much of the filling as possible. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
06
StepCarefully arrange the jalapeño poppers in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
07
StepAir fry until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes. Check halfway through and rotate the poppers for even cooking. (10-12 minutes)
08
StepRemove the jalapeño poppers from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Remove toothpicks before eating.
