Chilli-Cheese Jalapeño Poppers

These jalapeño poppers are the perfect party appetizer. They're easy to make, and they're always a hit with guests. The crispy breadcrumb coating is the perfect complement to the spicy jalapeños and melted cheese.

Jalapeño poppers are a classic party appetizer, but they can be a bit of a pain to make. Traditional recipes call for breading the jalapeños twice, which can be time-consuming and messy. This recipe streamlines the process by breading the jalapeños only once, making them much easier to prepare.

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 20 | Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 12 jalapeño peppers
• 1 cup vegan cheese
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup vegan butter
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cut the jalapeños lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs.
2. Fill the jalapeños with the vegan cheese.
3. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, vegan butter, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Dip the jalapeños in the bread crumb mixture.
5. Place the jalapeños on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
6. Let the jalapeños cool slightly before serving.

Why It Works

• The breadcrumb coating provides a crispy, golden-brown exterior.
• The vegan cheese melts perfectly, creating a gooey, flavorful filling.
• The chili powder and garlic powder add a spicy, savory flavor to the poppers.
