Hey guys. How’s it going? IT’S ALMOST 2019! I know you’re gonna party like an animal on New Years Eve so you’ll probably be hungry. Hunger problem solved: make these paleo jalapeno poppers!
These paleo jalapeno poppers are one of Ken and I’s favorite appetizers to make. First and foremost, they’re low carb and they taste incredible. Secondly, they are super easy to make. Finally, they are so versatile – sometimes we enjoy them as an appetizer and sometime as a side dish!
Cooking Paleo Jalapeno Poppers
There are two tried and true methods for cooking jalapeno poppers:
- Baking in an oven – 400 degrees, 20-25 minutes or until bacon is crispy.
- Grilling on a gas or charcoal grill – 200-250 degrees, indirect heat, 30-40 minutes or until bacon is crispy. For extra flavor when using a charcoal grill, add a chunk of hickory or applewood to the grill, directly onto the coals. We have a Big Green Egg and when we cook on that, sometimes the temp gets up to around 300. We adjust cooking time accordingly. We basically eyeball it when cooking on whichever grill we use.
We usually grill our jalapeno poppers but sometimes I bake them in the oven, like when it’s raining.
Tips for making Paleo Jalapeno Poppers
- Slice the jalapenos lengthwise. Do not cut off the tops – leaving the tops helps keep the almond cream cheese inside the jalapeno during cooking.
- Remove all of the membranes and seeds to cut back on the heat.
- After removing the membranes and seeds, rinse the jalapenos under cold water. This helps cut down on heat.
- Add herbs such as chives or green onion to the almond cream cheese.
- Try taco seasoning in place of the BBQ rub.

These came out really good! My jalapeños were on the larger side, so half a slice of bacon did not cut it. I’ll make sure to adjust the bacon accordingly next time. Thanks for adding some spice to my paleo diet!
