Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dates

    Make a small slit in each Medjool date and remove the pit. If desired, you can stuff each date with an almond or walnut for added crunch.

  3. 3

    Wrap with Bacon

    Take one slice of bacon and cut it in half. Wrap each half around a prepared date, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat for all dates.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.

  2. 5

    Bake

    Bake the dates in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Turn the dates halfway through for even cooking.

  3. 6

    Drizzle with Honey

    Once cooked, remove the bacon dates from the oven and drizzle them with honey while they are still warm.

  4. 7

    Garnish

    Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
