This Baked Jalapeno Poppers recipe features the spicy kick from jalapenos mellowed with cream cheese and two kinds of cheddar. Not only is it gluten free, low carb, and keto, but it’s also easy to make with no deep frying needed. They make a great side dish or appetizer!
Preheat the oven to 350F; spray the inside of an 11 by 8.5-inch gratin dish with avocado oil or olive oil.
Stir together the cream cheese, ¾ of the shredded white cheddar, and garlic powder in a medium bowl.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, and arrange them in the prepared dish.
Toss together the remaining ¼ of the white cheddar with the yellow cheddar, and sprinkle on top of the jalapenos.
Bake until the jalapenos are softened and the cheese is bubbling, about 25 minutes.
Serve warm, topped with fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
