Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thin-cut bacon (about 2 ounces)
- 4 oz Cream cheese at room temperature
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh jalapeño peppers
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- ¼ tsp Smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
- Cut the bacon into thirds, and then cut each piece in half again to create 12 small pieces of bacon.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, jalapeños, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until combined.
- Take one piece of bacon at a time and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on top. Roll up the bacon tightly so it resembles a rosebud shape, tucking in any excess cheese if needed. Place seam-side down onto a plate or cutting board while you make the rest.
- Once all your roses are made, place them into your air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping them over halfway through cooking time.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
