Make sweet, spicy, and savory bacon wrapped scallops using a simple honey sriracha glaze. This recipe provides instructions for oven baking or air frying.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large sea scallops, patted dry
  • 12 slices thin-cut bacon, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. If using frozen scallops, thaw them completely and pat them very dry with paper towels.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to 380°F (195°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a wire rack set over the sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, and black pepper to create the glaze.
  4. Take one half-slice of bacon and wrap it tightly around the center of one scallop. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining scallops.
  5. Brush the tops and sides of the wrapped scallops lightly with half of the honey sriracha glaze.
  6. For Oven Baking: Place the scallops on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the scallops are opaque.
  7. For Air Frying: Place the scallops in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 9 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until the bacon is crisp.
  8. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining glaze over the scallops.
  9. Remove from heat and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving.

Notes

  • Select dry-packed scallops for the best texture; wet-packed scallops release too much water during cooking.
  • To get tight bacon wraps, use thin-cut bacon and secure the ends firmly.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, reduce the honey and Sriracha mixture slightly on the stovetop before brushing.
  • For a main course, serve these with rice or a simple green salad.
