Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Medjool dates about 21 dates
  • 6 ounces softened goat cheese
  • 12 strips bacon cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary optional
  • honey to taste

Instructions

  • If using pitted dates, skip to step two. Slice the dates in half lengthwise but don't slice them all the way through. Remove the pit and discard. 
  • Stuff each date with about 1 tablespoon of softened goat cheese. Wrap each date with a bacon strip and secure with a toothpick. Drizzle the bacon-wrapped dates with honey and fresh chopped rosemary. 
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. for 5 minutes and spray the basket with cooking spray. 
  • Place the dates in the air fryer basket and cook for 7 minutes. Once the 7 minutes are up, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes, and remove the toothpicks. 
  • Taste them and add more honey if needed. Enjoy! 

Notes

Oven Instructions: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bacon-wrapped dates on the baking sheet and bake for 22-25 minutes or until the bacon crisps up.
