Tips & tricks

Preheat the air fryer for best results
Don't defrost the jalapeño poppers, cook them straight from frozen
Cook in a single layer for best results
Turn them halfway for an even cook
Don't cook too long or the cheese will start oozing out
Cook time can vary with different air fryers and brands of jalapeño poppers
Test a few first to make sure you nail the perfect cook time
Let them cool a bit before eating - that cheese is suuuuper hot!
Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days - but I recommend not air frying more than you will finish
