Air Fryer Crab Cakes
Crab cakes are made in the air fryer with lump crab meat and Old Bay Seasoning for a flavorful appetizer.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 1 red bell pepper de-seeded and chopped
- 3 green onions chopped
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Optional
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees.
- In a large bowl, add the lump crab meat, pepper, green onions, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, Old Bay Seasoning, and lemon juice and mix until just combined.
- Gently form four evenly sized crab patties. Lump crab meat has a lot of juices inside and you want to keep as much in as possible.
- Place a piece of parchment round down inside the hot air fryer then carefully place each crab cake in the air fryer.
- Cook the fresh crab cakes in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes until the crust turns golden brown. Do not flip while cooking.
- Remove the crab cakes from your air fryer and enjoy with your favorite sauce and extra lemon on top, if desired!
