Slice each jalapeno pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Be careful when handling jalapenos, as the oils can irritate your skin and eyes.

In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.

Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture, packing it in gently but firmly.

Wrap each filled jalapeno half with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed.

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap.

Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese filling is bubbly. Check halfway through cooking and adjust as needed.

Carefully remove the jalapeno poppers from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
