Sizzled Dates & Broccoli
Serves: 2-4

4 Tbsp olive oil
½ cup raw chopped walnuts or pecans
Salt and pepper
3 Medjool dates, pitted and roughly chopped
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 large head broccoli, chopped

To a medium skillet, add olive oil and nuts. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes and the nuts start to smell toasty.
Sprinkle in salt, pepper and dates. Cook, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
On a sheet pan, add the broccoli and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast at 400° for 18-20 minutes.
Place broccoli in a large bowl and spoon over the nut and date mixture.

Date Bark
10-12 Medjool dates, pits removed
2 Tbsp peanut butter (drippy works best)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
flaky salt

On parchment paper, arrange open dates in a group, overlapping slightly so they stick together. Lay a second parchment sheet over top and press dates down with a glass.
Drizzle peanut butter over the top and place in freezer for 15-20 minutes. Melt chocolate and spread over top of peanut butter, then top with flaky salt and sprinkles.
Pop in freezer for 5-10 minutes to let the chocolate harden, then cut into pieces. Store leftovers in the fridge.
