Notes
Substitutions:
Greek yogurt - Greek yogurt is thick, and creamy and adds a little bit of a tangy flavor to this recipe. If you prefer a milder flavor, it can easily be substituted with cream cheese.
Roasted peppers - If you have time, try roasting the red peppers yourself, they are tasty and easy to make in the air fryer or oven.
Smoked paprika - Since many recipes for jalapeno poppers are made with bacon, the smoked paprika adds a nice smoky flavor to replace the bacon. It can easily be left out.
Cheddar cheese - This adds a delicious creamy touch to the poppers. You can use your favorite version of cheddar cheese and shred it yourself for the best results.
Cheddar cheese can be substituted with an equal amount of pepper jack cheese or you can use a mixture of half cheddar cheese and half pepper jack.
Store leftover jalapeno poppers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in a airtight container.
