Ingredients
- 12 whole jalapeno peppers
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 whole bacon strips
- 24 toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
2. Wear gloves to handle the jalapenos. Slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon. Set aside.
Step 3
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 4
4. Using a spoon or a small spatula, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture. Overfill slightly to create a rounded top.
Step 5
5. Carefully wrap each filled jalapeno half with a strip of bacon, securing the bacon in place with a toothpick. Ensure the bacon fully covers the cheese filling to prevent melting cheese escaping during grilling.
Step 6
6. Place the prepared jalapeno poppers on the preheated grill, cheese side up. Close the grill lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and the jalapenos are tender.
Step 7
7. Remove the poppers from the grill once cooked. Let them cool for a few minutes, then serve warm as a tasty keto-friendly appetizer.
