Top 10 Ways to Enjoy Jalapeños
- Stuff ’em. Most of the fiery heat from jalapeños is dissipated when cooked and they develop a mellow, acidic spiciness, which is a perfect partner to cream cheese. Stuff with fat-free cream cheese, chives, and low-fat cheese, then heat on the grill or in the oven and enjoy!
- Top Your Seafood. Heat sliced jalapeños, bell peppers, chives, chili pepper, cilantro, and a pinch of salt until peppers are soft. Top over scallops, fish, or lobster.
- Pepper Jelly. Use no-sugar-added jelly, vinegar, green onions, and chopped jalapenos to make a spunky homemade jelly. Spread with low-fat cream cheese on crackers and top with jelly for a fun party appetizer.
- Hot Sushi. Try making your own sushi with seaweed rolls, cooked brown rice, sushi-grade seafood, vegetables, wasabi, and jalapeños. This is a great activity to do with your family!
- Taco Night. Jalapeños and tacos go hand-in-hand. Add jalapeños to any favorite taco combo to enhance the flavor.
- Bite. Enjoy jalapeños as is … if your mouth can stand the heat, that is!
- Pickled Jalapeños. Lots of vegetables taste great pickled, even jalapeños! They make great appetizers and side dishes.
- Heat Things Up a Little! Jalapeños are great in all of your favorite dishes, especially if you like a little heat to your food. They’re great in casseroles, on tacos, in omelets, and so many more dishes.
- Grilled. Fire up the grill and place halved jalapeños coated in olive oil and minced garlic over hot coals. Heat until jalapeños are crisp and warmed.
- Sweet … But Spicy Salsa. Combine chunks of pineapples, onions, lemon juice, cilantro, and thinly sliced jalapeño peppers for a spicy kick to a mild salsa.
