These are one of the most common appetizers, you will find at swanky parties or wedding receptions.

But they are so easy to make in your air fryer, today I recreated them, and they took mere minutes.

They also make a great lunch. My kids really love eating anything on toothpicks. I guess it’s the kid in all of us. The best part about making these is that the bacon keeps the scallop really moist and delicious, you get a ton of flavor with so few ingredients.

Here are some pointers for making bacon-wrapped scallops in your air fryer,

1. Slice the bacon in half, otherwise you will have too much bacon per scallop. And the ends of the bacon will not cook properly.
2. Check with your air fryer manufacturer, but I always use toothpicks with my air fryer, they really help keep weigh down the food and keeps the bacon and scallop together.
3. One trick I have learned along the way is that if you put a piece of bread, under your basket, while making greasy food, like bacon. It will absorb the grease, and you won’t get a lot of smoke in your kitchen. I will not discuss, if you should or shouldn’t eat it, it’s a personal preference.
4. Serve with your favorite sauce, here are a few of my favorites.
