Even though we naturally think of crab cakes as a main dish
item, crab cakes appear on many restaurant menus as an appetizer selection. I
love to make these for a light lunch or dinner. With the air fryer, there’s no
mess from pan-frying on the stovetop, plus no added calories from the oil.
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 T. mayonnaise
1 - 1 1/2 t. Old Bay seasoning
1/2 t. Worcestershire Sauce
Few grinds of black pepper
1 T. fresh chopped parsley
3 T. panko breadcrumbs
8 oz. lump crab claw meat
In a small bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Gently fold in crab meat. Divide mixture into four parts and shape into crab cakes. Place on a plate and refrigerate for 45 minutes or so.
Preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees F. Whichever your air fryer has, a basket or racks, lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray. Carefully place the crab cakes into the air fryer basket or onto the trays. Air fry for 12 – 14 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and crispy.
