Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until smooth.

Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, pressing gently to pack it in.

Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

Place the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
