   Gather all ingredients. Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (195 degrees C).

   Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and meat with kitchen shears. Cut to, but not through, the bottoms of the shells.

3. 3

   Spread tail halves apart. Place tails in the air fryer basket with lobster meat facing up.

   Spoon reserved butter from the saucepan over lobster meat. Top with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
