Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- How many smoked jalapenos per person? I count on 1-2 jalapenos as a side dish, or 3-4 as an appetizer or snack.
- The smoking takes a bit of the heat out of the jalapenos, but you can encourage guests to remove the seeds if they don't like them too smoky.
- Don't over smoke the jalapenos - they can dry out!
