Step 1
Start by heating your air fryer to 400°F. While it’s warming up, toss the scallops, asparagus, mushrooms, olive oil, lemon-pepper seasoning, parsley, and paprika together in a big bowl until everything is nicely coated. Once mixed, spread it out in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 8 minutes, giving the basket a good shake halfway through to help everything cook evenly. When it’s done, serve it up with some fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is quick, healthy, and full of fresh flavors. The air fryer cooks the scallops and vegetables perfectly, giving a nice crisp texture without extra oil. It’s a great way to enjoy a light yet satisfying meal.
How to serve
Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for brightness. It pairs well with a simple side of quinoa or a light salad to keep the meal balanced.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven to keep the scallops tender and the vegetables crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
