Ingredients

12dried figs,(Turkish or mission)

6stripsbacon,(regular center-cut, not thick cut)

honey,for serving

nonstick spray,for air fryer

goat cheese,or blue cheese

roasted almonds,salted

Preparation

Add the dried figs to a bowl filled with steaming hot water. Let them sit for 20 minutes to reconstitute.

Drain the figs and cut off the stems. Cut a small slit in each fig and spoon in a little blue cheese or goat cheese, or half an almond, if desired.

Cut the strips of bacon in half and trim them down to about ½ to ¾ inches wide. Wrap one bacon strip around each fig. Secure with a toothpick.

Spray the basket of an air fryer with nonstick spray. Add bacon-wrapped figs in a single layer so they aren’t touching.

Air fry the figs at 350 degrees F for 8 to 9 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Once the figs have cooled slightly, serve them drizzled with honey.
