WHAT MAKES THESE VEGAN JALAPENO POPPERS SO GOOD?
- These vegan jalapeno poppers are insanely delicious with only a few ingredients! We are talking simple ingredients: jalapenos, vegan cream cheese, fresh parsley and breadcrumbs.
- You can prep these air fried jalapeno poppers ahead of time. Stuff peppers, top with breading and keep in fridge until you are ready to cook later. This is helpful if you are feeding a crowd.
- Great for most eating restrictions. You can easily make them gluten-free by using gf breadcrumbs!
- These air fryer poppers are light and made in the air fryer! Just a little bit of oil added to the tops helps to crisp up the bread crumbs and add flavor, but doesn't weigh down the poppers with heavy grease.
TIPS FOR MAKING VEGAN JALAPENO POPPERS
- Freeze Leftovers! We have frozen these air fryer jalapeno poppers several times. Depending on how much moisture the pepper has, it might get a little soggy when reheating, but it still tastes amazing!
- After picking out your peppers, cut off the tops, and don't forget that you need to de-seed them! Important step! And another little tip...Wear gloves when doing this step. SO many times I've cut open that jalapeno pepper, then forget and wiped my eyes later....the pain! It seriously will burn for hours.
- Don't have bread crumbs? You can finely grind tortilla chips in your food processor to create a delicious naturally gluten-free topping! Or you can crush them by hand
