Baked Jalapeno Poppers (Keto)

5 from 1 vote
An easy recipe for baked jalapeno poppers that are low-carb. No breading or flour necessary!
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 28 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 jalapenos seeded and cut lengthwise
  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • 1 8-oz package cream cheese
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 large clove garlic minced
  • 3 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 tsp sriracha or hot sauce optional
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup almond flour optional*

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice the tops off of the jalapenos, slice them in half, and remove the seeds and innards from the peppers. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of avocado oil and very lightly sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Arrange peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove peppers from the oven and allow them to cool.
  • While the jalapenos are baking or cooling, prepare the cream cheese stuffing mixture. Add the remaining ingredients (cream cheese, jack cheese, garlic, green onion, sriracha, sea salt) to a mixing bowl and mix well to combine (this process will be easier if you allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature first).
  • Use a spoon to scoop the cream cheese mixture into the peppers.
  • If desired, stir ½ cup of almond flour with 2 teaspoons of avocado oil in a mixing bowl and sprinkle on top of the stuffed jalapenos.
  • Bake the stuffed jalapenos for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cream cheese is golden-brown.
  • Serve the poppers with any additional toppings, such as chopped green onion, red pepper flakes, cheddar cheese, and/or a dollop of sour cream. 

Notes

*You can also use panko bread crumbs or gluten-free breadcrumbs. If using almond flour, stir it with 2 teaspoons of avocado oil in a bowl before topping.
