Air Fryer Scallops
Report
Air Fryer Scallops are lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, then cooked at high heat for a short time, resulting in tender, juicy scallops with a slight sear. Serving them with fresh lemon juice adds brightness, accentuating the natural seafood flavor. This method offers a fast way to achieve a reliable scallop texture without overcooking.
Description
This recipe calls for drying scallops thoroughly and seasoning simply with salt and ground black pepper. The scallops are arranged in a lightly oiled air fryer basket and cooked at 400°F for 4 to 5 minutes, or 5 to 6 minutes for larger scallops. This timing allows for a cooked exterior with a tender interior.
The short, high-heat cooking seals in moisture while providing a mild crust. Serving with a squeeze of lemon juice enhances the natural sweetness of the scallops without overpowering their delicate flavor. This method is straightforward and requires minimal ingredients or preparation.
