### Ingredients
- 12 large jalapeño peppers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Start by cutting the jalapeños in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon; this will help reduce the heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and grated parmesan. Mix until well combined.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Using a spoon, carefully fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture. Do not overfill, and make sure the mixture is packed in tightly.
- Arrange the stuffed jalapeños on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle a little olive oil over them to help with browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the jalapeños are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh chives for an extra touch.
These baconless jalapeño poppers are a fantastic party snack that everyone will love. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, and watch them disappear in no time!
