FAQ’S

What are the best Jalapeños to use

When shopping for the Jalapeño peppers, I like choosing them all about the same height and width. Keep in mind that you will be stuffing them, so choose a good size you can fill it’s inside generously.

Can you make these egg rolls ahead of time?

You can make the mixture ahead of time, a day or two in advance. Just keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Or you can assemble the Stuffed Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls a day in advance, store in the fridge and fry before serving.

Can you freeze them?

If you have any leftovers you can freeze cooked Stuffed Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls. Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Can I make these less spicy?

If you’re serving people who may not want too much heat, or want these more kid friendly, you can quickly cook the jalapenos in the oven for 15 mins, on a medium to high heat, to make them less spicy. Also remove the seeds and membrane.

Do I have to fry these?

No, you can also brush the wantons with a generous amount of olive oil and bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Equally delicious!

    Can they be frozen after frying?

      Hi Sue,
      I don’t recommend that because when you go to refry them they will get super oily. You can freeze them raw, line up apart in a sheet pan, and once they are frozen you can place into freezer bags. When ready to eat, thaw them a little and fry at like about 350 degree temperature or medium heat so they don’t burn on the outside before the inside gets cooked.

    These look amazing! I would love to try making these in my air-fryer but do you think they would burn ?

      Hi Christine!
      You can definitely do them in the air-fryer. Two options, brush them with oil and fry them on 350 for 8 minutes and them flip them over to fry for another 4 minutes or until they are golden brown in color. The Jalapeños might be a bit crunchy, but it you don’t mind them, do it that way. Or you can boil the Jalapenos before stuffing them for like 2 minutes. This will soften them up and they won’t be crunchy on the inside after air-frying. It’s really all a matter of preference, some people like the jalapeños to be crunchy instead of soft.

    This was so yummy! Really good combo of ingredients and no dipping sauce needed. I was a bit worried that the jalapeño stuffed may be too hot so instead of stuffing the jalapeños I diced them and added to the mixture so all coils enjoy! Two thumbs up!

    Simple and easy. Thanks, can you update notes for cooking in the oven. The only thing I noticed is “bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.”

      Hey Anjan!
      Yes that’s about it. After you wrap them, instead of frying you can bake them. Just brush with some oil and bake them for that time. Don’t place the tray too high up in the oven. You can take out earlier if it’s cooked enough to your preference.
