Open Fire Jalapeno Poppers

Nothing tastes (or smells) like a fresh roasted jalapeño especially when it's stuffed with cheese. This is a quick and easy way to have cheesy jalapeño poppers while you're outdoors.

I seriously wish I had made more.

Jalapenos

Cheese

Sea Salt (optional)

Panko crumbs (if you're missing the breaded crust)

Skewers or tin foil

Clean and prep your jalapenos. Try to leave the ends intact (which I failed at). It just helps keep the cheese in place if you're roasting the peppers with skewers.

Stuff the jalapenos with 1/8-1/4" chunks of cheese in strips. You want to try and fit as much as you can inside of the peppers. Sprinkle in sea salt or any other flavor enhancers.

If you're going the tin foil route, wrap the peppers in tin foil and roast for about 10-15 minutes over the fire. If you're using skewers you can roast the peppers one at a time or a couple at a time. Keep an eye on cheese melting/overflowing.

I cooked mine in tin foil and because I had to keep skewering the foil to move the peppers around, I unintentionally exposed the peppers to the flame which gave them a nice char.

Remove from heat and as soon as the peppers are cool enough, eat!
