These air-fryer bacon-wrapped scallops are the perfect last-minute appetizer to throw together for a gathering.

Medium-size scallops and bacon cut on the thinner side work best here.

Remove and discard the muscle from the side of each scallop.

Cut bacon slices in half crosswise and then lengthwise to make 12 strips.

Wrap 1 bacon strip around each scallop, overlapping the ends slightly.

Sprinkle the scallops evenly with pepper and paprika and brush lightly with oil.

Arrange the scallops in an even layer in the fryer basket.
