To prepare the Jalapeno peppers, start by washing and drying them. Then, place them on a cutting board and slice them in half lengthwise. Be careful when handling the peppers as the seeds and white membrane can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Use a small spoon to carefully scrape out the seeds and membrane.

Next, in a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients together with a silicone spatula until they are evenly combined.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Take each of the jalapeno halves and add about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture to each one. Use a small spoon to spread the mixture evenly. After that, generously top the jalapenos with the panko.

Once the air fryer is heated, add the jalapenos to the tray and spray the tops with olive oil spray. Cook the poppers at 380 degrees for 5 minutes or until they are golden on top and the cheese is heated through.

Finally, serve the poppers immediately, garnished with cooked crumbled bacon, finely chopped cilantro, and ranch dressing for dipping.
