Ingredients
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
20 pitted Deglet Noor dates
1/4 cup canned water chestnuts, cut into matchsticks
7 slices bacon (not thick-cut), cut into 3-inch lengths
Directions
- Combine the soy sauce and 1/2 cup of water in a small bowl and soak the dates for 2 hours.
- Heat a toaster oven to 450 degrees F and place a rack in a quarter sheet pan or use the pan that came with your toaster oven, if applicable (see Cook's Note).
- Drain and then open the dates by using a pair of scissors to cut a lengthwise slit in each date.
- Stuff each date with 2 to 3 pieces of water chestnut and wrap with a piece of bacon. Place the wrapped dates on the rack, bacon ends down, and gently press to anchor.
- Bake until the bacon is brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cook’s Note
Obviously if you don’t have a toaster oven you can use a regular oven. But honestly, you should think about picking up a decent toaster oven sometime soon.
