I know, they’re not exactly traditional Irish food, but – Hey! – jalepeños are green, right? So, why not make some for your St Patrick’s Celebration?
Roasting instead of breading and deep frying saves tons of work, and mess, and calories. I like this approach to homemade jalepeño poppers because the flavors are still intense and spicy. All the flavor without all the fuss!
I wanted a crunchy topping, even though these are roasted and not deep fried, so instead of bread crumbs I used ground pecans, a traditional Southwest nut. This turned out to be THE thing that put this recipe over the top: roasted pecan crunchiness! Woo Hoo!
