Crispy Dates
Course: gluten free, dairy free, vegan, no refined sugarIngredients
extra-virgin olive oil *
dates, pitted
flaky sea salt
Directions
- Heat ¼ inch olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium heat.
- Once hot, place the dates in the pan to crisp for a few minutes a side. Turning them once or twice until they’ve warmed through and have a slight crisp to the edges. Be careful, date sugar is very sensitive to heat and they will burn very easily – don’t over do it.
- Remove from the dates from the pan and sprinkle with flakey sea salt immediately and serve warm. Enjoy!
- If you’re making this as a dessert or appetizer usually count 2-4 dates per person
Notes
- *I like using an olive oil with a sharp taste to lend that kick of spicy + grassy flavour to the dates.
