Notes
- Scallops overcook quickly, so keep an eye on them while air frying.
- Pat scallops dry using paper towels before wrapping bacon strips around them for cooking.
- For even more crispy bacon, partially cook the bacon first before wrapping it around the scallops.
- Choose same-sized scallops so they cook at the same rate. If they are a different size, remove smaller scallops from the air fryer when the bacon is crispy and cook larger ones for longer.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Arrange scallops in a single layer with space between them on the air fryer tray. You may need to cook the scallops in 2 batches.
- Different air fryers operate slightly differently. Air fryer cooking times are an estimate, so it’s important to check your food for doneness and adjust as needed.
