- Use a pastry brush to spread the lemon garlic butter over the lobster tails, then season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully place the lobster tails inside the air fryer basket and cook for 7 minutes at 350 degrees F / 176 degrees C, or until the meat is opaque and firm.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve the lobster tails immediately. Provide melted butter for dipping.
