6 servings
- 18 medjool dates
- 18 whole raw almonds

Chef's tipCook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed. - 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.

Use a small knife to slit each date lengthwise along one side and remove the pit if not already pitted. Press one whole almond into the cavity of each date and pinch the date closed around it.
