We fancy. Scallops wrapped in bacon?! Um, YES!
I got mine from @target frozen. Let them thaw, drained, pat dry, wrap in @Hormelfoods All Natural pork bacon, secure with a toothpick & cook for 10 minutes.
Depending on your air fryer the time will vary. If you like crispier bacon you can also pre-cook the bacon for about 3-4 minutes then wrap around your scallops.
Great as an appetizer or entree, great with butter 🧈! Scallops are also one of the healthiest food you can eat.
