Recipe Notes
- I use gloves and goggles to to this. You do not want the juice on you as it will burn. Dispose of seeds and rib immediately. Set jalapeno halves aside on a baking sheet.
- This amount will take two baking sheets.
- I use the Oscar Mayer Select Natural Real Uncured Bacon Bits when I can’t fry up my own. It just tastes better. You use the whole 2.8 ounce bag of it in the recipe.
- You can freeze these before baking. They take an extra 5 minutes or so in the oven. I just leave them on the baking sheet and cover with tight fitting wrap, and then when I am ready for them, I remove wrap and bake. Freeze for up to 3 months. If they last that long….
- We usually eat a batch for dinner and freeze the other half for later.
- Each popper is about .5 Net Carbs as the serving size is for 2 halves.
- I will sometime eat these for a meal of about 8 halves.
