LOW-CARB JALAPEñO POPPERS (KETO-FRIENDLY)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Using gloves, trim the stems and slice each Jalapeno in half long-ways. Next, remove all of the light green membrane and the seeds and carefully cut away any of the white ribs inside the peppers. If needed, rinse the peppers to remove any additional seeds.
• Next, transfer the Jalapenos to a baking sheet and place them cut-side-up. Bake for 11 minutes then let cool until at least lukewarm before adding the filling.
• In the medium bowl, stir together all of the filling ingredients until thoroughly combined.
• Using a spoon or clean hands, stuff each pepper with the filling until full and then press down the filling in slightly to ensure that it stays in pepper while baking. Next, sprinkle the additional shredded cheese over each jalapeno. If desired, garnish with additional chopped cilantro.
• Finally, bake the stuffed Jalapenos at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese on the top begins to brown slightly.

BAKED JALAPENO POPPERS (KETO)

Steps:

• 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.
