Crispy Air Fryer Crab Cakes: A Delightful Seafood Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much; you want some nice chunks in your cakes.

2. 2

   Once well mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes the cakes easier to form.

3. 3

   Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   After the mixture has chilled, use your hands to form the crab mixture into round patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should have about 8 crab cakes.

5. 5

   Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the crab cakes in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other. You may need to do this in batches depending on your air fryer size.

6. 6

   Lightly spray the tops of the crab cakes with cooking spray as well.

7. 7

   Cook the crab cakes in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.

8. 8

   Once cooked, remove the crab cakes from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
