These chorizo stuffed dates are wrapped in bacon and roasted until crispy to bring out their natural sweetness. Serve them with smoky, romesco sauce dip for a flavorful dairy free appetizer that's sure to impress your guests.
- 1 lb thick-cut bacon (cut into thirds lengthwise)
- 1 lb chorizo sausage (casings removed)
- 36 medjool dates (pitted)
- 1 cup romesco sauce (for serving)
Preheat oven to 400˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice lengthwise down one side of each date to remove the pit.
Stuff each date with about 1 heaping teaspoon of chorizo sausage.
Wrap each stuffed date with a piece of bacon.
Place dates with the bacon seam down onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, or until bacon is browned and crispy.
Remove from oven and allow dates to cool for about 10 minutes before serving with romesco sauce.
