Description

Ingredients
- 12 Bacon Wrapped Scallops, Frozen
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure it's hot and ready for cooking.
- Place the frozen bacon-wrapped scallops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Air Fry the scallops in the preheated air fryer for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on the thickness of the bacon and the size of the scallops.
- The bacon-wrapped scallops are done when the bacon is crispy and golden brown, and the scallops are cooked through and opaque. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the scallops reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked, carefully remove the bacon-wrapped scallops from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them hot as a delicious appetizer or snack!
- For an extra crispy finish, you can increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) during the last few minutes of cooking, but be sure to keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
