Bacon Wrapped Dates
Bacon wrapped dates are easy to make appetizers ready in minutes. They are delicious on their own or with a dip of your choice. Enjoy them warm or cold!
Ingredients
- 14 dates (pitted, see note 1)
- 7 bacon strips (cut in halves, see note 2)
Other:
- 14 toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.
- Wrap each date in half of the bacon strip and place onto a baking tray (lined with baking parchment paper). Secure each with a toothpick.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F/190°C for 12-15 minutes or until the bacon is cooked to your liking (just make sure not to burn the dates).
- Serve warm or cold with or without a dip of your choice.
Notes
- Deglet Noor are small, rather thin dates perfect for this recipe. If you can’t find the Deglet Noor variety, buy any dried dates that are thin and small. Don’t use Medjool dates.
- I used Oscar Mayer bacon strips that I cut in half. It was the perfect size for these appetizers. You can use any bacon strips you like, just note that you might need a different amount. This depends on the size of the strips, weight and size of the dates.
- Try serving these with Thai sweet chili sauce.
