These air fryer scallops couldn’t be easier! They come out tender and perfect, coated in delicious garlic butter.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large sea scallops (dry-packed, if possible)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

  • 1⁄2 tsp salt

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Remove the side muscle and pat the scallops dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil with the Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Toss the scallops until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 2-3 minutes. Then, arrange the scallops in a single layer in the air fryer basket with space between each. Work in batches if needed.
