- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Scallops:
- Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
- Wrap each scallop with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Make sure the bacon is wrapped snugly around the scallop.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer:
- Place the bacon-wrapped scallops in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Scallops:
- Air fry the scallops at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are cooked through. You may need to flip the scallops halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the bacon-wrapped scallops from the air fryer basket and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the scallops.
Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Scallops as a tasty appetizer or main course! Adjust the cooking time as needed based on the thickness of the bacon and the size of the scallops.
