Ingredients
- 20 pieces Medjool dates
- 20 pieces Pineapple chunks
- 10 slices Bacon slices
- 20 pieces Toothpicks
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or set your grill to medium heat if grilling.
Step 2
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise and carefully remove the pit.
Step 3
Stuff each date with a piece of pineapple chunk, then gently press the date closed around the pineapple.
Step 4
Cut each bacon slice in half to create 20 pieces. Wrap one piece of bacon securely around each stuffed date.
Step 5
Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place, inserting it through the center of the wrapped date.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, and grated ginger to create a glaze. Brush the glaze over the bacon-wrapped dates evenly.
Step 7
Place the wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on a grill (if grilling).
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. If grilling, cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning frequently to avoid burning.
Step 9
Remove the dates from the oven or grill and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the dates for garnish and serve immediately.
