- Wrap a half slice of bacon around each date, overlapping slightly.12 slices thick cut bacon
- Secure bacon with a toothpick and place on rimmed baking sheet lined with silpat and with a wire rack over it.
- Bake in 425 degree oven for a total of 18 minutes. If you don't use a wire rack, make sure to flip them over at the 11 minute mark so all sides bake evenly.
- Remove from the oven and drain on paper towel.
- Store leftovers in fridge in tightly sealed container for two to three days.
Notes
- The best way to bake these is to place a wire cooling rack inside the jelly roll pan and place the bacon wrapped dates on this. This lets everything cook evenly on all sides for the best texture. If you don't do this, make sure you flip the dates over part way through baking - at the 11 minute mark - to avoid having a softer texture on the bottom.
