About
It’s always a treat to learn that a well-loved snack is already keto-friendly in its original form. Jalapeno Poppers, when baked instead of fried, are a perfect snack or appetizer for your ketogenic macro count! Jalapenos are a low-carb food, and they get a boost of protein when wrapped in bacon. Try not to eat them all in one sitting!
Ingredients
- 4 ounce cream cheese spread
- ¾ cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 5 large – approx 4" – 6" long jalapeno peppers
- 10 slice – 6" long bacon
Instructions
- Pre-heat an oven to 375 degrees, and prepare a sheet tray with a sheet of parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded cheddar. You can use the back of a spoon or a fork to soften the cream cheese and make the mixture pliable.
- Prepare the jalapenos by removing the stems. Slice each one in half, and remove the seeds.
- Spoon the cheese filling into each jalapeno half, until all the filling is used up.
- Wrap each filled jalapeno half with a slice of bacon. Make sure to tuck the ends under the jalapenos and that the cheese filling is completely covered. Arrange the wrapped jalapenos on the prepared sheet tray.
- Bake the jalapeno poppers for 30 minutes or until the bacon is fully cooked and golden brown on the edges. Enjoy!
