  • 8 oz cream cheese (or vegan alternative)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (or any preferred nuts)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling
  • Fresh herbs (like rosemary or parsley), for garnish


Instructions

To create delicious roasted stuffed dates, follow these step-by-step instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prep Dates: Cut a slit down the side of each date and remove the pit. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon until smooth. Fold in the chopped walnuts for added crunch.
  4. Stuff Dates: Use a small spoon or your fingers to fill each date with the cream cheese mixture. Pack it in generously.
  5. Arrange Dates: Place the stuffed dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
  6. Roast Dates: Put in the preheated oven and roast for about 15 minutes, until the edges start to caramelize and the filling is warm.
  7. Sprinkle Salt: Remove from the oven and sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over each date to enhance flavors.
  8. Garnish: Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of color and added flavor.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the dates to cool for a few minutes before serving.
