Air Fryer Scallops

Air Fryer Scallops, a simple dish prepared in the air fryer. They are such a healthy and delicious dinner. So easy to make, in the air fryer, and so fast.

I love a great plate of scallops, but they are so expensive in the restaurants, so today I air-fried my own, and they were fabulous. I made a simple, simple sauce for them using only lemon and garlic. They were perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Scallops

If you have never prepared scallops before, this recipe is easy. You can buy them fresh at the seafood counter in your local grocery store. Or you can grab a bag of frozen scallops from the freezer section.

If you have frozen scallops to thaw them either place them in a bowl of cold water, for about 20 minutes or place them in the refrigerator the night before you want to cook them.
