Bacon Wrapped Dates
Description
The recipe prepares pitted dates by optionally stuffing them with almonds or blue cheese for added texture and flavor. Each date is then wrapped with halves of bacon slices and secured with toothpicks. A glaze made from maple syrup and sriracha is brushed over the bacon before baking. The dates bake at 425°F for about 20-24 minutes until the bacon crisps and caramelizes, turning halfway through for even cooking.
This combination creates a contrast between the chewy, sweet date filling and the crispy, smoky bacon exterior with a hint of heat from the sriracha glaze. These treats are well suited as party appetizers or snacks and can be served warm.
Nutrition details per bacon wrapped date exclude the optional fillings. They are best enjoyed soon after baking while the bacon remains crisp.
