Cooking Tips

- In this recipe, we scoop out the seeds to cut down on the heat

- These roasted jalapeños are delicious on their own, but you can also try serving them with dips like ranch, sour cream, or melted butter
What Are the Benefits To Roasting Jalapeños?
Roasting jalapeños mellows out their spiciness (especially if you remove the seeds) and gives a deep, smoky flavor. The easiest way to roast jalapeños is in an air fryer. Slice them, season them, and roast jalapeños at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
What Temperature Do You Roast Jalapeños?
The best temperature for perfectly roasted jalapeños is 400 degrees. This is true for grills, ovens and air fryer’s. Be sure to add a brushing of oil or some nonstick spray to the cooking surface. This prevents the jalapeños from sticking to the surface while they roast.
What To Serve With Air Fryer Roasted Jalapeños
These crowd-pleasing jalapeños are perfect alongside other easy appetizers like Frozen Cheese Curds In Air Fryer, Air Fryer Frozen Mini Tacos, and Frozen Fried Pickles In Air Fryer.
