Delicious Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Sriracha Mayo from the Air Fryer

Step 1

Start by mixing the mayo and Sriracha together in a small bowl, then pop it in the fridge so it’s nice and chilled when you’re ready to dip. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) while you get the scallops ready. Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel, then season them with a little salt and pepper. Wrap each one with about a third of a bacon slice and secure it with a toothpick. Give the air fryer basket a quick spray with cooking spray, then arrange the scallops in a single layer—if you have too many, cook them in two batches. Air fry for about 7 minutes, but keep an eye on them; the scallops should look opaque and the bacon nice and crispy. If they need a bit more time, cook in one-minute increments until they’re just right. When they’re done, carefully transfer the scallops to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any extra grease, and serve warm with that spicy mayo on the side.
