Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Add the cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to a small bowl and stir well to combine.
Spoon the mixture into the hollowed out peppers.
Unroll the crescent roll and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about ⅛ inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into long, narrow strips.
Wrap each jalapeno in the dough, overlapping the dough just a bit to mimic a mummy. Keep in mind that the dough will expand as it cooks, so don’t overlap too much. The pepper should still be visible in spots through the wrap. Leave a bit of space open for the eyes to go on after cooking.
Beat together the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small dish.
Arrange the peppers in a parchment lined air fryer basket and lightly brush the crescent dough with the egg wash.
Air fry at 370 degrees for 10-11 minutes, until gold brown.
When the poppers are done, carefully remove them to a serving plate and arrange the eyes or olives on the mummies.
Serve with ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
Notes
We like to serve these with ranch dressing, but a sweet dip like a copycat bronco berry sauce or even honey is delicious with the spice!I buy a package of crescent dough sheets rather than the actual crescent rolls. If you buy the rolls, just press together the perforations and cut into strips as directed.
