Air Fryer Jalapeno Cheddar Quick Bread is one of the best BBQ side dishes that you will be serving up this summer! Made with rich cheddar, sliced jalapenos, this is surely a dish that will wow your guests! It is truly amazing!
Expert Advice
- Modify the Spicy Level: The jalapeño peppers determine how spicy the bread is. By using more or fewer peppers and varying the quantity of seeds and membranes, you may customize the heat. If you want a softer bread, remove the seeds and white membranes; if you want a hotter kick, leave them in.
- Use fresh jalapenos: They will have the best flavor and texture when they are fresh. Choose green peppers that are firm, bright, and free of wrinkly or squishy patches.
- Don’t Overmix: Take care not to overmix the batter while adding the wet and dry components. Stir just until incorporated; overmixing can result in a harsher texture. It’s acceptable to have a few lumps.
- Grease the Pan: To avoid sticking, make sure the baking pan or dish that is safe for an air fryer is well greased. Cooking spray or a tiny bit of oil will work.
- Modify Cooking Time: Depending on the size and model of your air fryer, cooking times may change. Keep an eye on the bread in the final few minutes of cooking to make sure it doesn’t burn or overcook.
- Let Cool Before Slicing: Before moving the Jalapeño Cheddar Quick Bread to a wire rack to cool entirely, let it sit in the pan for a few minutes. When you cut it, this helps keep it from crumbling apart.
- Serving Suggestions: Although this bread is excellent on its own, you may bring out the flavors by pairing it with some butter, cream cheese, or a Dip sauce, such as ranch dressing.
- Personalize with Herbs: To enhance taste and freshness, feel free to add herbs like parsley or fresh cilantro. Before baking, the batter can be combined with chopped herbs.
Components
- Two cups of all-purpose flour
- four tsp powdered baking powder
- One spoonful of sugar, granulated

- Shredded cheddar cheese, 3/4 cup

Guidelines
- Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt together in a big mixing basin.

- Evenly distribute the batter among your loaf pans.
- Garnish the tops of the loaves with sliced jalapeños.
- Cook the bread at 320 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, or until it’s cooked through, using the air fryer option.

Let the loaves cool for ten to fifteen minutes before slicing.
