If you are using frozen scallops, be sure to thaw them completely before air frying.
You can also try pan-searing the scallops before finishing them in the air fryer.
If you don't have access to an air fryer, you can easily make this recipe in your oven instead. Just bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes.
Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel before adding the seasonings so that they adhere well.
You can use a small sheet of parchment paper in your air fryer during the cooking process for easy cleanup.
