Creating Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Maple Glaze can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Scallops: Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. Wrap with Bacon: Take each scallop and wrap it with half a slice of bacon. Secure it with a toothpick to hold it in place.
4. Mix the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wrapped scallops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Brush with Glaze: Using a brush, generously coat each scallop with the maple glaze mixture.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the scallops are cooked through.
8. Baste Again: Halfway through baking, baste the scallops with more glaze for added flavor and sheen.
9. Remove and Cool: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
10. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
