Parsnip Wrapped Devils On Horseback Recipes

PARSNIP-WRAPPED DEVILS ON HORSEBACK

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 450°F. Very thinly slice parsnip with a vegetable peeler to create wide, long ribbons.
• Whisk soy sauce, paprika, and 1/4 cup oil in a medium bowl. Add parsnip ribbons, toss to combine, and let sit 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stuff heaping 1/2-teaspoonfuls of cheese into each date. Place 1 almond in the center of each. Wrap parsnip ribbons around each date, using 2 ribbons if necessary to cover middle section of date; reserve soy sauce mixture. Secure ribbons with a toothpick. Arrange dates on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake 5 minutes, then remove toothpicks and brush with soy sauce mixture. Continue to bake until parsnip ribbons are browned and slightly crisped, about 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.

• Dates can be assembled 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before baking.

BLUE CHEESE BACON DEVILS ON HORSEBACK

Steps:

• Soak the dates in the sherry for 2 hours, making sure they're fully submerged.
• Meanwhile, place the blue cheese in a small zip-top bag, then snip one corner off the bag, leaving about a 1/2-inch opening. Leave at room temperature until ready to fill the dates.
• Heat a toaster oven to 450 degrees F and place a rack in a quarter sheet pan or use the pan that came with your toaster oven, if applicable (see Cook's Note).
• Drain but do not rinse the dates. Use a pair of scissors to open each date lengthwise.
• Pipe roughly 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese into each date, then wrap with a piece of bacon. Place the wrapped dates on the rack, bacon ends down, and gently press to anchor.
• Bake until the bacon is brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
