A delightful twist on the classic jalapeño poppers, these bites are grilled to perfection and wrapped in crispy bacon.
Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
Wear gloves while handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, and paprika until smooth.
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for easier mixing.
Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture.
Use a small spoon for precise filling.
Wrap each filled jalapeño half with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Overlap the bacon slightly to ensure full coverage.
Grill the jalapeño bites over medium heat until the bacon is crispy, about 10-15 minutes.
Turn the bites occasionally for even cooking.
Serve the bites warm and enjoy.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
