Easy Air Fryer Crab Cakes
The Air Fryer makes making these Easy Air Fryer Crab Cakes quite simple. There is succulent, juicy crab meat in every bite. Nothing compares to a crab cake that is juicy and savoury on the inside and gorgeously golden on the surface. And I can now create tasty crab cakes with less mess and worry thanks to the Air Fryer.

Ingredients For Easy Air Fryer Crab Cakes:

Instructions For Easy Air Fryer Crab Cakes:
- In a bowl, mix together lump crab, red bell pepper, green onion, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and old bay.
Gently shape the mixture into four patties. - Put in the Air Fryer basket and give the tops a quick oil mist.
For ten minutes, air fried at 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Before serving, open them and squeeze some lemon over the tops.
What I’ve discovered is that;
- The best crab cakes actually taste like crab, haha. That is to say, you want to avoid using too many toppings or condiments to mask the flavour of the crab.
- A great crab cake has less bread crumbs and more crab.
- When preparing crab cakes, use lump or jumbo lump crab flesh. This should be available in the seafood department of your neighbourhood grocery store. Although mine cost $14 for eight ounces, it’s well worth the price.
- This recipe does not require eggs. You want a moist crab cake, and since crab flesh is already moist, you won’t have to turn it to maintain that lovely golden crust when making it in the Air Fryer.
Notes:Â Remoulade sauce is a great accompaniment to these crab cakes.
