Your New Favorite Appetizers
These keto jalapeno poppers are a long-time favorite. We learned how to make these from my brother-in-law. Yes, I'm talking to you Wil!
They are easy to assemble and have only three ingredients.
Warning!!! After you handle the jalapenos...Don't touch your eyes!! You would think this is obvious--right? Well, we have both made that mistake while making these. Wash your hands in between steps just in case you inadvertently rub your eyes. You could also consider wearing gloves while handling the jalapenos.
Cooking Methods for Keto Jalapeno Poppers
Now, if you are like us and like your bacon crispy. Take these off the baking sheet and crisp them up in a pan on the stove top for 5 minutes per side.
Alternately, you can cook them on the stovetop in a heavy cast iron pan the whole time.
If you have an air-fryer, like this one, use it!! These keto jalapeno poppers work well in the air fryer! They take about 20 minutes at 370 degrees in our air fryer. Find more details at the end of this post.
Ingredients for Keto Jalapeno Poppers
We like to get our bacon from Butcherbox. It's the perfect thinly sliced bacon. When making keto jalapeno poppers, we've found that thin cut bacon works the best.
- Bacon
- Jalapeno
- Cream cheese
Allrighty, now let's learn how to quickly make these bad boys...

Alternative Cooking Methods for Jalapeno Poppers
There are two other cooking methods that work well with these keto jalapeno poppers. They are much harder to film!
Cooking In A Cast Iron Pan
To cook these in a cast iron pan, preheat the pan on medium-low while you prepare the jalapeno poppers as instructed. Then, place the poppers in the cast iron pan and cook approximately 10 minutes per side. Keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn.
Cooking in an Air-Fryer
We purchased an air fryer about 4 months before we jumped into a Keto
Turns out, it was a great purchase anyhow!
An Air-Fryer is fantastic for cooking bacon. And especially fantastic if you like crunchy bacon.
Do you like bacon crispy? or soft?? Comment below and tell me!
P.S. They don't sell the exact air fryer we have. Here is one very similar in size to the one we purchased. I've also linked to another one on Amazon that's really well rated earlier in this post!
