Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon, cut in half
- 12 sea scallops, tough muscle removed
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- Nonstick cooking spray
Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, and cayenne pepper.
- Add the bacon slices and toss to coat.
- Place the Air Fryer Basket onto the Baking Pan, and coat with nonstick spray. Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer in the basket.
- Place the prepared basket into the oven in rack position 2. Select Air Fry at 400°F for 8 minutes to partially cook.
- While bacon is par-cooking, toss the scallops with the soy sauce.
- Remove from oven and wrap a bacon slice evenly around each scallop, so that the crispier side is touching the scallop. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
- Place back into the basket, seam side down. Return to oven and select Air Fry at 400°F for 8 minutes to finish bacon and cook the scallops.
