Ingredients

8 servings
  • 8 slices bacon (or as needed, *see note)
  • 8 large sea scallops (not bay scallops)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon old bay seasoning
  • salt and black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps

  1. Place bacon in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes or until just slightly cooked and some of the fat has rendered out. Bacon should not be crisp.

  2. Remove bacon from the air fryer and wipe out any grease in the bottom.

  3. Dab scallops dry with paper towels and season with olive oil, old bay seasoning and salt & pepper to taste.

  4. Cut bacon in half (unless your scallops are really large) and wrap each half around one of the scallops. Seal with a toothpick or thread onto short skewers.

  5. Brush scallops with maple syrup.

  6. Place scallops into an air fryer at 350°F for 11-13 minutes. Cook just until bacon is crisp and scallop is cooked. Do not overcook.
