how long to bake jalapeno poppers

The baking time for jalapeno poppers can vary depending on the size of the peppers, the filling, and the temperature of your oven. Here are some general guidelines:

Baked Jalapeno Poppers:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bake for 15-20 minutes for small to medium-sized poppers.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes for larger poppers.

Cheese-filled Jalapeno Poppers:

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Breaded and Baked Jalapeno Poppers:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the breading is golden brown and crispy.

Tips:

• Keep an eye on the poppers after 10-12 minutes, as they can go from perfectly cooked to burnt quickly.
• If you want a crisper exterior, you can broil the poppers for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking. Watch them closely to avoid burning.

Remember, the key is to cook the poppers until they’re tender and the filling is heated through. You can always adjust the baking time based on your personal preference for crunchiness and doneness.
