Apart from that, <a href=\"https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/what-materials-can-you-put-in-an-air-fryer\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5080\">air fryers<\/a> offer easy cleanup with no leftover oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Olive&nbsp;oil&nbsp;or non-stick cooking spray: <\/strong>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/do-you-need-olive-oil-for-air-fryer\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6828\">olive oil<\/a> to brush the air fryer <a href=\"https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/can-you-use-air-fryer-without-a-basket\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3478\">basket<\/a> and prepare it for cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bacon<\/strong>: Slightly cook the bacon slices in the air fryer before wrapping them around the scallops. This allows the bacon to crisp up without overcooking. You can buy precooked bacon from the store, but the flavor may not be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scallops:<\/strong> Huge scallops are suitable for this recipe. Bay scallops are very small and soft, slowing the cooking process. They&rsquo;re difficult to thread on a skewer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Syrup<\/strong>: Use <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.treejuicemaplesyrup.com\/blogs\/news\/maple-syrup-vs-honey\" target=\"_blank\">maple<\/a> syrup to coat the scallops. It promotes caramelization and enhances the sweetness. Maple syrup can be replaced with brown sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you leave these scallops as is, they&rsquo;ll be good but get dry while cooking. I prefer to season and add sauce to mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other:<\/strong> Add parmesan cheese, bbq red sauce, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Traditional:<\/strong>&nbsp;Add&nbsp;a&nbsp;squeeze&nbsp;of&nbsp;lemon&nbsp;juice&nbsp;and&nbsp;some&nbsp;old&nbsp;bay&nbsp;seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"937\" src=\"https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x.jpg\" alt=\"Air-fried Bacon wrapped scallops\" class=\"wp-image-17784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-728x546.jpg 728w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-1080x810.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-150x112.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1250\" height=\"937\" src=\"https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Air-fried Bacon wrapped scallops\" class=\"wp-image-17784 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x.jpg.webp 1250w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-728x546.jpg.webp 728w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-960x720.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-1080x810.jpg.webp 1080w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-1200x900.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x-150x112.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 96px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/yumfryer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/istockphoto-619061060-170667a_1250x.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Grilled-wrapped scallops bound with toothpicks<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_Scallops_With_Bacon_in_an_Air_Fryer\"><\/span>How to Make Scallops With Bacon in an Air Fryer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 3 minutes.
