Jalapeño poppers are a beloved indulgence that often come with less-than-ideal health aspects. But here’s a healthier version that’s perfect for game nights, as appetizers, or any time. It’s filled with delicious feta and goat cheese, along with zesty spices like cumin, chili powder, paprika, and oregano. And to pair it, we have a creamy homemade avocado ranch dressing.
To make these poppers, preheat the oven to 350°F. Halve the jalapeño peppers and dice the onion. Mix together the spices, feta, and goat cheese. Stuff each pepper with the cheesy mixture and wrap with turkey bacon. Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Serve warm with the avocado ranch dressing.
This recipe offers a great balance of flavors and nutrition. It has 157 calories per serving, with good macros like 3.5 grams of carbs, 12 grams of fat, and 10 grams of protein. And it’s a healthier option compared to traditional jalapeño poppers that may be loaded with cheese and fried.
