Ingredients
- Fresh jalapenos
- Cream cheese
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Crumbled bacon
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for a milder flavor.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Using a small spoon, generously fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are well-packed.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Cut it into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Take a filled jalapeno half and wrap it with a dough strip, spiraling it around until fully covered. Place the wrapped jalapeno on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once all the jalapenos are wrapped, bake them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and puffed up.
- Allow the twists to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce!
