    Dairy-Free Jalapeño Poppers Ingredients

    It's hard to find a jalapeño popper recipe that is both gluten-free and vegan yet still satisfies. Traditional poppers use cream cheese, bread crumbs and cheese. You won't find those in this recipe. So, here's the main ingredients you'll need:

    • Raw jalapeños 
    • Dairy-free cream cheese 
    • Nutritional yeast
    • Minced garlic
    • Lemon juice
    • Cayenne pepper
    • Dairy-free jalapeño or regular potato chips

    Now, in order to give these vegan jalapeño poppers that cheesy taste without the cheese, nutritional yeast plays a small but important role. Together with lemon juice and spices, that cheesy tang is replicated.

    Crushed potato chips are a great alternative to breadcrumbs for various dishes. Use jalapeño or spicy chips to top your peppers for an even better kick! 

    When using flavored potato chips, be sure to check the label for dairy or gluten, if necessary. Regular potato chips will work just fine.

    Wearing gloves

    The best tip for easy jalapeño prep, is wearing gloves while you slice and scoop out the seeds and membranes. This will help avoid getting any in your eyes and keep your fingers clean.
