Instrucciones<\/p>\n
1. Preheat the Air Fryer
\nPreheat your air fryer to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). This ensures even cooking and a perfect golden-brown finish.<\/p>\n
2. Prepare the Garlic Butter
\nIn a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.<\/p>\n
3. Assemble the Scallops
\nArrange the scallops in a single layer on an air fryer-safe tray or dish. Avoid overlapping for even cooking.
\nPour the garlic butter mixture over the scallops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
\n4. Add the Topping
\nIn a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
\nSprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the scallops.
\n5. Cook the Scallops
\nPlace the tray or dish in the air fryer basket.
\nCook at 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the scallops are opaque and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
\n6. Serve
\nRemove the scallops from the air fryer and serve them hot.
\nGarnish with lemon wedges for a bright, zesty finish.
\nTips for Perfect Scallops
\nDry Scallops Well: Patting the scallops dry ensures they sear beautifully and don\u2019t become soggy.
\nDon\u2019t Overcook: Scallops cook quickly. Check for doneness after 8 minutes to avoid a rubbery texture.
\nCustom Toppings: Feel free to swap breadcrumbs for panko or add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
