Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven until the scallops are opaque and the bacon is crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes, turning once halfway through. (Time: 10-15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Ensure the scallops are patted dry before marinating to allow for better absorption of the marinade.
If using thick-cut bacon, you may need to increase the initial baking time to render more fat.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

    The marinade is perfect! Not too overpowering, but adds a lovely depth of flavor.

  • Daniela Hayesberge

    Make sure not to overcook the scallops; they should be tender and juicy.

  • Rossie Windler

    I used sugar-free maple syrup to cut down on the sugar, and they were still delicious!

  • Abbie Oconnell

    These were a huge hit at my party! Everyone loved the combination of sweet and salty.
