Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ lb Scallops
- 1 cup Coconut Flour
- 1 egg - whisked
- 1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- seasonings as desired -optional as needed
- spray oil -optional as needed
Instructions
- If you have not done so, prepare the scallops by rinsing them in cold water. Then pat them dry and place them on a clean paper or kitchen towel. Give the basket of your air fryer a quick spray of nonstick. Place the basket on your work station. Preheat the air fryer to 400.
- Prepare your dredging station by laying out three shallow bowls next to one another and between you and the air fryer basket. In the bowl closest to you place the coconut flour. In the next bowl place the whisked egg. Then in the last bowl, place the shredded coconut. If you are adding optional seasoning, simply use a whisk or fork to blend it into the coconut flour.
- Begin by dredging your first scallop in the coconut flour, then the egg and lastly the shredded coconut. Lightly spray with the olive oil and then place the scallop into the prepared basket.
- Repeat the process until there is not more room in the basket for the scallops to have room around them to fully cook. Air fry the scallops for four to six minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 120 f.
