how long to bake jalapeno poppers at 400

To bake jalapeno poppers at 400°F (200°C), the cooking time will depend on the size of the poppers and the desired level of crispiness. Here are some general guidelines:

– Small to medium-sized poppers (about 1-2 inches long): 12-15 minutes
– Medium-sized poppers (about 2-3 inches long): 15-18 minutes
– Large poppers (about 3-4 inches long): 18-20 minutes

It’s also important to check on the poppers after 10-12 minutes and rotate the baking sheet to ensure even cooking. You can also broil the poppers for an additional 1-2 minutes to get a crispy top.

Some signs that the poppers are done include:

– The cheese is melted and bubbly
– The breadcrumbs are golden brown
– The jalapenos are tender

Keep an eye on the poppers while they’re baking, as the cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the specific ingredients used.
