Ingredients

  • 2 frozen prepared crab cakes
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Garlic aioli optional

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes. This step ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy exterior.

Prepare the Air Fryer Basket

  1. Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.

Cook the Crab Cakes

  1. Place the frozen crab cakes into the prepared basket, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow proper air circulation. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 9–11 minutes. Flip the crab cakes halfway through the cooking time to ensure an evenly crisp texture.

Serve the Crab Cakes

  1. Carefully remove the crab cakes from the air fryer using tongs. Transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and serve with garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
