Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, toss the scallops with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the scallops in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.
Cook for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until scallops are opaque and slightly golden.
Remove from air fryer, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
