Step 1
Start by heating your air fryer to 370°F. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, mayo, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Cajun seasoning, salt, cayenne, and pepper. Gently fold in the crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much. Shape the mixture into three even crab cakes—using a biscuit cutter makes this easier. Place them on a piece of parchment paper and pop them into the air fryer basket. Cook for about 6 minutes, then carefully flip the cakes and cook for another 6 minutes or until they’re nicely browned and crispy. Serve them warm on slider buns with some remoulade sauce for dipping.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These crab cakes are perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside. The Cajun spices add a nice kick without overpowering the delicate crab flavor. Using the air fryer makes them healthier and quick to prepare.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of fresh salad or coleslaw to balance the spices. A squeeze of lemon or a dollop of spicy mayo pairs wonderfully with the crab cakes. They also go well with crusty bread or steamed vegetables.
Storage Tips
Store leftover crab cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer briefly to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
