Ingredients
- 12 dates pitted
- ¼ cup (60g) goat cheese
- 6 slices Thin cut Bacon
- 12 Toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F / 400 degrees C.
- Stuff dates with goat cheese and pinch the ends slightly to close them.
- Cut the bacon strips in half lengthwise and wrap half a bacon slice around each of the stuffed dates, then secure with a toothpick. Continue until all are done.
- Place dates in the air fryer basket and air fry for 10 minutes, carefully turning over halfway through cook time.
- If bacon is not crisp enough, then continue cooking for a couple of minutes.

Notes
- These party appetizers can be served both hot or cold. So no need to worry about when the guests are arriving.
- If dates are not pitted, cut a small slit in each date and remove the pit.
- To drain any excess bacon fat, place cooked dates on a paper towel lined plate.
- Choose the same-sized dates so they cook evenly at the same rate.
- If you prefer, you can omit the tangy goat cheese from the sweet Medjool dates.
- Make sure not to overstuff the dates, or you might end up with a messy air fryer.
- Feel free to garnish this cooked appetizer with fresh herbs.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Arrange dates in a single layer with space between them on the air fryer tray.
- Use cut-up wooden skewers if you don't have toothpicks.
- This will work in both a basket-style air fryer and an oven-style air fryer.
- Different air fryers operate slightly differently. Air fryer cooking times are a basic guideline, so it’s important to check your food for doneness and adjust as needed.
- Storage - keep covered and refrigerated for 2-3 days.
- There are 4 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
