Jalapeno Poppers are my jam! I’ve filled them with stuffing, turned them into egg rolls and rolled them into pigs in a blanket!
This version of jalapeno poppers is creamy on the inside, crispy on the outside and totally delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potatoes (scrubbed clean & cubed)
- ½ cup coconut milk
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
- 6 jalapeños
- 12 slices bacon
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 20-25 minutes (or until fork tender).
Drain the sweet potatoes, then add them to a blender or food processor with the coconut milk, cinnamon and ginger. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
Remove the stems from the jalapenos. Slice in half lengthwise, then remove the seeds and membranes from inside the jalapenos.
Fill the jalapeños with the mashed sweet potato.
Wrap one slice of bacon around each jalapeño and place on a wire rack on top of a foil-lined baking sheet.
Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
This recipe is perfect for those looking for gluten-free & dairy-free appetizers for holiday parties, while watching football, or just as an awesome snack!

But you have to hold the jalapeños down to use the spoon right? Good hack, I use gloves and my thumb and it’s terrible!
Hi Nicole, yup, you will have to hold down the jalapeños while using the back of the spoon to scrape the seeds and membranes out. Hope this new hack helps you in the kitchen 🙂
These sound amaze-ball! Sweet potatoes + bacon + jalapeños. Yes please! What an incredible combination!
