Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Sriracha Mayo
This delicious appetizer is prepared quickly and easily in the air fryer and served with a spicy Sriracha mayo dipping sauce. I use the smaller bay scallops for this. If you are using jumbo scallops, it will require a longer cooking time and longer strips of bacon.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 pound bay scallops , about 36 small scallops
- 1 pinch coarse salt
- 1 pinch freshly cracked black pepper
- 12 slices bacon , cut into thirds
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
-
1
Mix together mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
2
Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
3
Spread scallops out onto a plate or cutting board and blot dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap each scallop with 1/3 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
-
4
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place bacon-wrapped scallops in the basket in a single layer; split into 2 batches if necessary.
-
5
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 7 minutes. Check for doneness; scallops should be opaque and bacon should be crispy. Cook 1 to 2 minutes longer, if necessary, checking every minute. Remove scallops carefully with tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil from bacon. Serve with Sriracha mayo.
