I line my plate with a paper towel to soak up any grease or water that leaks out of my jalapeño poppers while they’re microwaving.
If there’s no paper towel, the poppers can end up sitting in their own juices.
Results: I wouldn’t use the microwave to reheat jalapeño poppers again unless I had no choice. The results were too disappointing. The poppers were a soggy mess, especially the deep-fried ones. I’ve also tested reheating bacon in the microwave, and it turned out chewy, so bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers won’t fare too well either.
How to reheat jalapeño poppers in the oven (or toaster oven)
Time: 5-10 minutesRating: 8/10
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Arrange the jalapeño poppers on a baking tray so they’re not touching.
- Heat the jalapeño poppers for around 10 minutes, or until they’re warmed through. If you’re using a toaster oven, 5 minutes will be enough.
- If the topping doesn’t look crispy enough, turn the broiler on for 2-3 minutes at the end.
Note: If your jalapeño poppers are frozen, they’ll reheat better at a higher temperature. Reheat frozen jalapeño poppers at 400°F (200°C) for 15 mins.
For deep-fried jalapeño poppers where the breading is all the way around the popper, you’ll get better results if you put them on a wire rack in the oven.
This makes sure the bottom of the popper doesn’t get all soggy. Or you could use a baking tray and flip the jalapeño poppers halfway through cooking if they’re not too delicate.
Results: This was the best method for oven-baked jalapeño poppers, and the fried jalapeños came out decently as well. The breadcrumb coating lacked a bit of crunch (especially compared to freshly fried poppers), but this was easily fixed by a minute under the broiler. If you have lots of poppers to reheat, the oven is the most convenient and easiest option.
