Keto Jalapeno Poppers

139 ratings

It’s always a treat to learn that a well-loved snack is already keto-friendly in its original form. Jalapeno Poppers, when baked instead of fried, are a perfect snack or appetizer for your ketogenic macro count! Jalapenos are a low-carb food, and they get a boost of protein when wrapped in bacon. Try not to eat them all in one sitting!

    My jalapeños were super hot yummy but I didn’t wear gloves. Regretting that decision

      I’ve been making these. They are a hit! I like to chop up the bacon and add it into the filling - instead of wrapping them.

          I’ve made these many times. They are ready good. When I needed to snap back after a carb binge, this was very helpful. Now that I’m only 10 total carbs/day I make something similar but use ground sausage to hold the cheese instead.

            Calories seem awfully high for this recipe. Is this accurate nutritional information?

              I make these with turkey bacon because I avoid pork products. This cuts the calorie count down a bit. Higher fat foods are more dense with calories. Bacon made from pigs, along with cream cheese and cheddar, in one delicious recipe, really push the calories up!

              I calculated by hand to check for you and this is spot on. 43 calories per slice of bacon, x10; 6.99 oz cheeses at approximately 100 calories an ounce; 4 calories per jalapeno. So 430 + 700 + 20 = 1134; 1134÷5 = 226.8. So here's the thing: sometimes we lose track of just how many calories are in something, because they look so innocent. That's how we end up with too much 'baggage'. Hope this helped

            I've used this recipe for years. it's very quick, very easy and almost foolproof. Two cautions; Don't overcook the papers and after you have seeded the peppers, don't touch any tender body parts untill you have wàshed your hands with soap and water 2X

                Very good. But better if you add a bit guerre cheese instead of cheddar, a sprinkle of garlic granules & pepper, and homemade pico (Texas style).

                  This was amazing. I added garlic & onion powder to the cream cheese mix & used more rindless bacon.

                          I never get tired of these. In summer I had a very productive jalapeño pepper plant, and I ate these every day, for weeks! Cooked them in a toaster oven. 😋

                            The directions mention cream cheese spread but that's not showing up in the list of ingredients for me.

                              I used a serrated grapefruit spoon to scrape out the seeds and inner skin of the peppers. Be careful not to get the oils on your face. Scrape against your body.😉Delicious recipe!

                              Very good, but I thought there was blue cheese chunks instead of cheddar and a blue cheese dressing when I first read the recipe. Now I can’t find that one, however this was very good.

                                I followed the suggestions in comments and added the bacon to the cream cheese mixture. My. Gosh. These are amazing. My hubby is BLOWN AWAY by them. And honestly? So am I. This was a major win. Highly recommended.

                                    I don’t think that the carbs are accurate. I did mine on my Traeger grill and damn! They are awesome smoked!!!

                                      Are the carbs more or less? It states there is sugar?? Can someone help with this?

                                          Loved it! Followed the suggestion below and also pre-cooked the bacon and added to the filing. Turned out very tasty!
