Ingredients

• 1 package of Farm Rich Jalapeño Peppers (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

• 1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)

• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)

• ½ tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky touch)

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the jalapeño peppers start crisping up immediately when placed in the air fryer.

Step 2: Prepare the Jalapeño Peppers

1. Remove the frozen jalapeño peppers from the packaging and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.

2. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to enhance crispiness.

3. If desired, sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika before air frying for extra flavor.

Step 3: Air Fry the Jalapeño Peppers

• Cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping the peppers halfway through for even crisping.

• For extra crunch, cook an additional 1-2 minutes at 400°F at the end.

• The jalapeño peppers should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the cheese inside remains warm and creamy.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

• Transfer the crispy jalapeño peppers to a plate and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

• Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh cilantro for added flavor.

• Serve immediately with a side of ranch, queso, chipotle aioli, or sour cream.

How to Serve These Jalapeño Peppers

• Classic Appetizer: Serve with cool ranch dressing or creamy queso dip for contrast.

• Game-Day Snack: Pair with loaded nachos, buffalo wings, and soft pretzels for a complete spread.

• Extra Heat: Drizzle with hot sauce or sprinkle with cayenne pepper for an added kick.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Check halfway through cooking to prevent over-browning.

• For an extra crispy texture, spray with a little extra cooking spray before air frying.

• Use parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

• Want extra flavor? Sprinkle with Tajín or smoked paprika before serving.
