Ingredients
- 12 pieces fresh jalapenos
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free seasoning mix
- 12 slices gluten-free bacon strips
- 24 pieces toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Put on latex gloves for handling the jalapenos, as they can cause irritation.
Step 3
Slice each jalapeno pepper in half lengthwise, and remove seeds and membranes using a small spoon. Set aside the hollowed jalapeno halves.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and gluten-free seasoning mix. Mix until well blended.
Step 5
Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture, using a spoon to ensure an even fill.
Step 6
Wrap each filled jalapeno half with a strip of gluten-free bacon. Starting at one end, wrap tightly and secure the bacon on the jalapeno with a toothpick.
Step 7
Once your grill is hot, place the bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers on the grill grates, keeping them upright with the filled side facing up.
Step 8
Grill for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the grill and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, as a delicious gluten-free appetizer or snack.
