1. 1

   Gather all ingredients before starting.

2. 2

   Heat the air fryer to 390°F (198°C).

3. 3

   Combine the cracker crumbs, garlic powder, and seafood seasoning in a shallow bowl. Pour the melted butter into a separate shallow bowl.

4. 4

   Coat each scallop in melted butter, then press into the crumb mixture until fully covered. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining scallops.

5. 5

   Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the scallops in a single layer without letting them touch; cook in batches if needed.

6. 6

   Air fry for 2 minutes, then carefully flip each scallop with a small spatula and continue cooking until the flesh turns opaque, about 2 additional minutes.
