Recipe Tips
Choose Fresh Dates: Medjool dates are ideal for their size and sweetness. Make sure they’re soft and pliable for easy stuffing.
Bacon Thickness: Thin-cut bacon crisps up best in the air fryer and wraps easily around the dates.
Avoid Overcrowding: Cook in batches to allow even air circulation for crispy bacon.
Make Ahead: Assemble the dates up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispiness.
