Sweet, sticky, and impossibly satisfying, these pork belly wrapped dates hit every note — savory, caramelized, and just a little indulgent. The natural sugars in the Medjool dates melt into the rich pork belly as it roasts, creating a combination that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. A quick honey, apple cider vinegar, and fresh thyme glaze gets brushed on toward the end, adding a glossy, fragrant finish that takes the whole thing over the top. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no need to swap anything out or scrutinize labels — it just works as written. These are the kind of appetizers that disappear from the platter before you've even finished arranging them, so consider making a double batch. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end keeps things looking sharp and adds a bright pop of color against all that golden caramelized pork.
