Reviews
This was so good! You only need to air fry it for 3/4 minutes each side. It tasted like restaurant quality! Family was very impressed!
Too much breadcrumbs but I needed a starter for air fried crab cakes. i know what to do next time
This had WAY too much breading. I doubled the recipe exactly. Even with 1/3 the amount of breading the recipe calls for it is likely too much. The flavor of the bread was fine but there was little to no crab flavor at all. At least I only wasted 8 oz of crab. If you try this recipe use 1/4 to 1/3 the amount of bread crumbs.
Can/do you put the parchment paper in the air fryer?
So fast and easy in the air fryer! Instead of Remoulade sauce I used Yum-Yum sauce.
