How To Air Fry!

When it comes to air frying, temperature and time are crucial. A high enough temperature is necessary to crisp the bacon, but you don’t want to overlook the scallops which can ruin their tender texture. We find that 375F for 10 minutes does the trick, but you may need a couple extra minutes depending on your air fryer.

Best Way To Cook Scallops And Bacon!

It’s also important to rotate the scallops halfway through cooking for crisp bacon all around each scallop. We also recommend using a traditional or thin cut bacon over thick cut. This allows the bacon to crisp up quicker, so the scallops aren’t overcooked.
