Dairy Free Pork Belly Wrapped Dates

Sweet, sticky, and impossibly satisfying, these little bites hit every note — caramelized, savory, and just a little bit indulgent. Medjool dates bring a rich, honeyed sweetness that pairs beautifully with the crispy, rendered pork belly wrapped tightly around each one. A quick honey, apple cider vinegar, and fresh thyme glaze gets brushed on toward the end of roasting, creating a lacquered finish that smells absolutely incredible coming out of the oven. The whole thing comes together with just a handful of clean, simple ingredients — no butter, no cream, no cheese — so the dairy-free crowd can dig in without a second thought. Roasting on a wire rack means the pork gets golden and slightly crisp on all sides rather than steaming in its own fat, which makes a real difference in texture. These are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the platter before you've even finished arranging them, so consider making a double batch.
