• 2-3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp onion salt or powder

Directions

• preheat oven to 450F
• Slice your jalapeno into thin slices. About half an inch thick. Make sure to cut out seeds if you dont want them spicy.
• Toss jalapeno slices with olive oil and onion powder or onion salt, pepper, and arrange flat on baking tray with parchment paper.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until jalapeno slices are crispier. This is why its important to cut them think. If you cut thicker they will take long to bake.
• Next remove jalapenos and let cool. blot jalapenos with towel so you remove extra oil.
• Place your oven at 400F now. Then Re-line your baking tray with parchment paper.
• Take half of your cheese slice and cut in half or into 2-3 pieces. You can also just pull them apart into pieces. .
• Fold it around the jalapeno slice/ring. Make sure its still flat. Not a ball.
• Place on baking sheet with parchment paper.
• REpeat until you have used up all your slices.
• Bake at 400 for about 6-7 minutes or until cheese is crispy. Provolone and havarti take around 10 minutes or so to bake crispy. Just depends on oven.
• Be sure to check after 5 minutes so they dont burn.
• Remove from oven, let cool, then season with more pepper/sea salt if desired.
• Serve with tabasco or ranch sauce. Its great!
