These air fryer frozen jalapeno Poppers are so good!
We are jalapeno popper obsessed in our home, especially our college-age son who has become quite the addict. While we usually make bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers in an air fryer, he helped me make the TGI Friday's frozen jalapeno poppers when he was home from school recently.
TGI Friday's frozen jalapeno poppers are low in sugar (just a few grams per serving) and, believe it or not, vegetarian as well.
What you'll need
- frozen jalapeno poppers - we like the TGI Friday brand, but your favorite brand will also work.

How to cook jalapeno poppers in the air fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.
- The total air fryer frozen jalapeno poppers cooking time is 7-8 minutes when cooked at 400F. For best results, flip them over halfway through cooking.
- Serve immediately with the included raspberry jam, your favorite dipping sauce, or plain. Enjoy!
Recipe notes
- We like to preheat the air fryer since it helps for even browning and crisping. If you skip preheating, you'll need to cook the poppers a little bit longer.
- DO NOT thaw your frozen jalapeno poppers before air frying.
- Space them out for the warm air to circulate, and for even browning.
- Cook time will be the same whether you cook a whole box of frozen poppers or a half box.
