Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 jalapeños fresh jalapeños
  • 1/2 cup Daiya Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
  • 1/2 cup Daiya Cheddar Shreds
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp panko
  • Fresh chives chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Halve and deseed the jalapeños.
  1. Mix the cream cheese spread, cheddar shreds, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and panko together.
  1. Stuff the jalapeño halves with the mixture and top with extra panko.
  1. Chill the stuffed jalapeños in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  1. Air fry at 375°F for 7–8 minutes until crispy.
  1. Garnish with chopped fresh chives, serve with a dip, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, spray the jalapeños lightly with cooking oil before air frying.
  • If you prefer less heat, soak the jalapeños in cold water after deseeding to reduce spiciness.
  • You can substitute smoked paprika with regular paprika if you prefer a milder flavor.
