Air Fryer Breaded Sea Scallops
Prep:10 mins Cook:5 mins Total:15 mins Servings:4
½ cup finely crushed buttery crackers (such as Ritz®)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 pound dry sea scallops, patted dry
cooking spray
Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (198 degrees C).
Step 2: Mix cracker crumbs, garlic powder, and seafood seasoning together in a shallow bowl. Place melted butter in a second shallow bowl.
Step 3: Dip each scallop in the melted butter and then roll in the breading until completely coated. Set on a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops.
Step 4: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange scallops in the prepared basket so that they are not touching each other; you may need to work in batches.
Step 5: Cook in the preheated air fryer for 2 minutes. Turn scallops over gently with a small spatula and cook until opaque, about 2 more minutes.
