Ingredients
- 12 oz Medjool dates, pitted
- ½ package bacon, pieces cut into thirds
- 4 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- kosher salt (to taste)

Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F and set a baking rack over a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If any dates are not already pitted, slit each one open and remove the pit.
- Wrap a piece of bacon around each date, secure it with a toothpick, and arrange the wrapped dates on the rack.
- Brush the dates with honey and bake for 20–25 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the bacon is crisp all over.
- Drizzle with a little more honey, scatter over kosher salt to taste and the parsley, let the dates cool slightly, and serve.
