Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This recipe is addictive! If you haven’t made homemade jalapeño poppers, now is the time! You’ll never go back to pre-made frozen poppers EVER again.

These dairy-free jalapeño poppers are quick and easy to whip up for any occasion — the big game, Friendsgiving, date night, a light lunch or pop them on top of a cozy bowl of chilli.

Healthy Jalapeño Poppers

One of the benefits of making jalapeño poppers from scratch is that you have complete control over the ingredients you use, no fillers, preservatives or mystery cheeses are lurking inside these tasty bites. These are also baked jalapeño poppers, which helps them keep their nutrition profile (extreme heat can kill off nutrients) and you skip the unhealthy oil used in the deep frying process.

How to make Vegan Jalapeño Poppers

These are the easiest jalapeño poppers to make. Just slice the jalapeños, remove the seeds (if desired), fill the jalapeños with cashew cheese, combine the spices with the Panko bread crumbs, top the peppers with the crumb/spice mixture, and bake. That’s it! So easy!

If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can drizzle your poppers with a Siracha aioli — the perfect game-day jalapeño popper trick to make it look like your a culinary master. 😉

Delicious + Nutritious

Ingredients to make Game-Day Vegan Jalapeño Poppers

Jalapeño — Did you know that peppers are three times higher in vitamin C than an orange?! They’re also an excellent source of vitamin A and a potent antioxidant. Not to mention they’re delicious.

Cashew Cheese — A good source of healthy fats, protein, fibre, magnesium, B6 and vitamin K, cashews aren’t only yummy, they’re nutritious too! Look for high-quality cashew cheese that doesn’t contain preservatives or unpronounceable ingredients, I like Zengerry Fauxmagerie or Spread’em Kitchen Co. In this recipe I used Zengarry’s Ale-aged Cheddar for the perfect game-day combo.

Panko Bead Crumbs — When baked, panko adds crunch and texture to these tasty poppers. I like to use gluten-free panko bread crumbs so everyone can enjoy them.

Spices — Chilli, garlic and onion powder add a nice flavour to the panko crumbs and complement the fresh jalapeños.

Prep Time 5 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Total Time 20 mins
Course Lunch, Snack
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 3 jalapeños Sliced in half length-wise
  • 6 tbsp vegan cream cheese

Panko Topping

  • 3 tbsp gluten-free panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste

Siracha Aioli *

  • 1/4 cup vegan mayo I use Vegenaise
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp siracha sauce or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • juice of half a lime
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a small spoon.
  • Fill the inside of each jalapeño with vegan cream cheese. Use approximately 1 tbsp per jalapeño (the exact amount will depend on the size of your jalapeño).
  • Combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Using your hands, sprinkle a generous amount of the topping over each jalapeño and pat down into the cream cheese to make sure it sticks.
  • Line the poppers up on a cookie sheet so there is space between each one. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. To get a really crisp topping, put your poppers under the broiler for a few seconds, but watch them close or they will burn!
  • Cool slightly + serve warm.

Notes

*These are approximant measurements, I usually whisk this up on the fly and taste as I go.

Are you getting enough B12 in your diet? Studies show that 15 percent of North Americans are deficient in Vitamin B12 and an even higher number of people aren't reaching optimal levels — especially if you eat a plant-based diet. So here's what we can do!

- Supplement with a quality B12 @megafoodcanada 
- Include more vitamin B12-rich foods in your diet, like enriched nutritional yeast, organic eggs, free-range fish and sustainable shellfish
- Prioritize a healthy gut for optimal absorption
- Talk to your doctor about possible B12 injections

Don’t buy almond flour from the store, make it at home! It’s as easy as 1,2,3. 

ONE: Add 1 to 2 cups of almonds to a blender or food processor.
TWO: Blend until you reach a course flour consistency. THREE: Store in an air right container in the fridge.

Be sure not to over blend your almonds, otherwise you’ll end up with almond butter instead of flour. 

Use your almond flour in this Healthy Mini Blueberry Muffin recipe: https://harmonicharvest.ca/healthy-mini-blueberry-muffins/
