The Kitchn: This quintessential appetizer should be on your game day menu

Renae Wilson, TheKitchn.com on

Whether you’re watching the Super Bowl or just having a movie night, jalapeño poppers deserve a place in your appetizer spread. You can make them ahead of time and heat them in the air fryer as needed. That means you can have a never-ending parade of hot, spicy, gooey goodness.

Once you’ve hollowed out, filled, and topped your jalapeño poppers, they can go directly into the air fryer for around 10 minutes, depending on your air fryer. If you don’t want to enjoy them right away, line them on a plate or tray, wrap them in plastic, and freeze. They can even be cooked directly from frozen.

If you like your poppers spicier, leave the seeds in the jalapeños. Or switch the jalapeños to Fresno chilis, the hotter red version of the popular pepper. Omit the bacon for a vegetarian, or for something a little funkier, substitute goat cheese for the cream cheese.
