Ingredients

1 pound dry sea scallops
salt & ground pepper, to taste
cooking spray
1 clove garlic, finely minced
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh thyme

Directions

Pat scallops dry with paper towel.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on the scallops, to your liking. Spray cooking spray liberally over the air fryer’s basket, then add scallops. Give a little mist of cooking spray over the scallops once they’re in the basket, then return the basket to the air fryer.
Cook at 400°F until they have an internal temperature of 115°F to 120°F, between 5 and 8 minutes.
Sauté the garlic in olive oil in a shallow pan until the garlic softens. Whisk in the lemon juice until the sauce is heated through.
Serve over scallops, and garnish with fresh thyme.
