Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Pat dry 12 large sea scallops with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Wrap each scallop tightly with 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place wrapped scallops on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Brush each bacon-wrapped scallop generously with the maple-Dijon glaze using a pastry brush.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, turning once halfway through and brushing again with glaze, until bacon is crisp and scallops are opaque and firm.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before serving warm.
