How long to cook frozen jalapeño poppers in the air fryer.

Place Frozen jalapeño poppers in the air fryer basket and air fry at 380°F / 190°C for 5 mins flip with a pair of tongs and continue to cook until for another 3 to 4 mins or until it’s warmed through. At this point, you may notice a bit of cheese oozing out and that’s ok.
What to serve with
These can be served with dipping sauces like bbq sauce, sour cream dip. It can also be served along side guacamole or pico de gallo.
How to store and reheat
Since this is a precooked frozen food recipe, this is basically reheating, therefore it’s best eaten as soon as it’s air fried. I would suggest reheating the quantity needed at a time.
If for some reason, you find that you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer when needed. I do not recommend reheating frozen jalapeño poppers more than once after the first time.
Air frying Tips
- No need to preheat the air fryer. If you preheat, or your air fryer has automatic preheat, the poppers will likely cook a couple of minutes faster than stated in this recipe. Keep an eye on them.
- Do not overcrowd the basket, cook in a single layer and in batches if needed.
- No need to spray oil on these.
- Let the poppers sit for a minute or two before biting into them because they can be pretty hot.
