Air Fryer Crab Cakes

 

We love crab cakes at our house and are always looking for a recipe that is easy and delicious.  I have been enjoying the air fryer a great deal lately and we found this recipe on EatingWell.  This came out fantastic.  They looked a bit well done, but they were nice a moist inside.  We served them with a caesar salad.  This is going to be a regular in our house.  

Ingredients (makes 4 crab cakes)

• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp Butter (unsalted if available), melted 
• 1/2 tsp Basil, dried
• 1/2 tsp Tarragon, dried
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 
• 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp Onion powder
• 2 tbsp Sour cream
• 8 oz. Lump crabmeat (fresh if possible), drained
• 1/2 Red bell pepper, finely chopped.
• 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• Cooking spray

Directions

1. Preheat a larger air fryer to 390°F. 
2. Whisk eggs, butter, basil, tarragon, Worcestershire, lemon juice, paprika, garlic salt, onion powder,  and sour cream together in a large bowl. Add crabmeat, bell pepper, and panko and stir gently.
3. With clean hands, shape the mixture evenly into 3 or 4 crab cakes (around 1/3 cup each). Generously coat the fry basket with cooking spray. Add 3 crab cakes to the basket; coat the top of the crab cakes with cooking spray. Cook until deeply browned and crispy on both sides, 14 to 16 minutes.  

Enjoy with Salad or shredded lettuce.
