I use the XL Power Air Fryer. Air Fryers work by convection cooking. A small fan runs while the Air Fryer is on and you only need to use a fraction of the oil you would normally use. Since these jalapenos are wrapped in bacon, no oil is needed at all.
Tips for making Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos
- If using fresh jalapenos, cut them in half and scoop out the seeds and membranes. For canned jalapenos, I just make a slit in the top and scoop the insides out.
This low carb, keto-friendly appetizer only takes about 15 minutes to make.
