Position oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with baking paper.

Wrap a piece of “bacon” around each date. 

Place seam-side down on the prepared pan, pressing firmly. 

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp. 

Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.  Serve as-is or with tahini for dipping.
