Ingredients

12 pieces Medjool dates
12 pieces Pitted green olives
12 pieces Bacon strips
12 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

2. Slice each Medjool date lengthwise to create a small pocket, but be careful not to slice all the way through.

Step 3

3. Stuff one pitted green olive into each date, pressing gently to close the edges around the olive.

Step 4

4. Take one strip of bacon and wrap it snugly around each stuffed date. Secure the bacon in place with a toothpick.

Step 5

5. Arrange the bacon-wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to ensure proper cooking.

Step 6

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Turn the dates halfway through cooking for even browning.

Step 7

7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer or party snack.
