Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Scallops

Ingredients

• Scallop

  Mollusks, mixed species, raw

  10 oz or 284g

• Bacon

  Raw, cured pork

  3 strip or 36g

• Pepper

  Spices, black

  ¼ tsp or 0.5g

• Paprika

  Spices

  ¼ tsp or 0.5g

• Olive oil

  Salad or cooking

  1 tsp or 5g

Directions

1. Preheat air fryer to 375F. Pat scallops dry. Remove and discard the muscle from the side of each scallop if attached. Cut bacon slices in half crosswise and then lengthwise to make 12 strips.
2. Wrap 1 bacon strip around each scallop, overlapping the ends slightly. Thread a wooden pick through both ends of the bacon to secure it in place, pushing the pick through the opposite side of the scallop. Sprinkle the scallops evenly with pepper and paprika and brush lightly with oil.
3. Arrange the scallops in an even layer in the fryer basket. Cook until the bacon is beginning to crisp and the scallops are firm but tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
