Vegan Jalapeño Poppers

Who’s ready for Super Bowl this Sunday? These drool-worthy Vegan Jalapeño Poppers will be a guaranteed hit at your Super Bowl party.

Vegan | Gluten-free

If you’ve been here for a while, you might have noticed that one of my favorite things to do is to veganize classic recipes. Which better recipe to start off the year of posts than with a veganized recipe? Get Super Bowl Sunday ready with these Vegan Jalapeño Poppers; the perfect finger food that is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! 

What are Jalapeño Poppers? It’s a super simple appetizer, made with fresh jalapenos that are sliced in half, filled with a rich creamy filling and topped with crispy panko topping. These are later baked until crisp and golden for the perfect game day spread!

Notes:

• To maintain this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free panko or breadcrumbs.
• The spice level can be adjusted; the only thing that makes jalapeños spicy is the seeds. If you remove all of the seeds the finished product won’t be spicy at all. If you want a bit of spice, try incorporating some of the seeds into the filling.
