These air fryer crab cakes are flavorful, crisp, and lighter than if cooked with oil in a skillet. Air-frying crab cakes means less mess and less cleanup but at no sacrifice to taste. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, aïoli, or tartar sauce, as well as fresh lemon wedges.

Ingredients

  • egg: 1 piece (beaten)
  • mayonnaise: 2 Tbsp
  • Worcestershire sauce: 1 tsp
  • Dijon mustard: 1 tsp
  • seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay): 1 tsp
  • hot pepper sauce: 0.5 tsp
  • green onion: 2 Tbsp (finely chopped)
  • lump crabmeat, drained and picked over: 1 pound
  • milk: 3 Tbsp
  • salt and ground black pepper: (to taste)
  • saltine crackers: 11 piece (crushed)
  • baking powder: 1 tsp
