Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Sriracha Mayo
Description
This delicious bay scallops appetizer is prepared quickly and easily in the air fryer and served with a spicy Sriracha mayo dipping sauce.
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup 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
•
1 serving olive oil cooking spray
Directions
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.
