When it comes to bacon I always opt for organic bacon with no antibiotics. You can often find Applegate brand at the grocery store, or online. We also often order quality meats to be delivered to our door. You can get great meat, and delicious bacon online here: Crowd Cow.

Of course, you can use any cream cheese that you’d like, but if you are keeping things dairy free, like me then you can opt for an almond milk or cashew milk based cream cheese. This is one of the kinds that I like to use: cream cheese.

You also need a few toothpicks, and a Ninja Foodi air fryer, or any air fryer to make these tasty bacon wrapped Ninja Foodi jalapeno poppers.

How to Make the Best Ninja Air Fryer Jalapeño Poppers 

First, clean and cut the jalapenos in half to remove the seeds and vein.

Then cut each of the bacon slices in half.

Next, fill each jalapeno in half with the dairy free cream cheese.

Wrap the stuffed jalapenos with bacon. A half slice of bacon should be plenty for each stuffed jalapeno half. Then use a toothpick to keep the bacon in place, as it will shrink as it cooks.

Place the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos on the wire rack for the Ninja Foodi.

Making Air Fried Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers in the Ninja Foodi
