Ingredients:
- Fresh scallops
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon wedges, fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- While the air fryer is preheating, pat dry the scallops with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Drizzle olive oil over the scallops and season them with salt and pepper, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the scallops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
- Cook the scallops in the air fryer for 5-6 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of your scallops and the power of your air fryer, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- Once the scallops are done, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
