“Don’t worry mister crab, these are made with imitation crab meat”.
I have been making these at least once a month. They make up quick and easy and have been a table pleasure. If you do not have an air fryer, I assume you can bake them in the oven just the same. I honestly do not know. I have rarely used my oven since getting an air fryer. I absolutely love that thing.
Now, head to the store and grab these simple ingredients:
- 8 oz pack of imitation crab meat ( chunks or shreds. I doesn’t matter. Your gonna chop it anyway).
- 1/3 cup of bread crumbs ( I used two pieces of hard toasted wheat bread).
- 1/2 cup green pepper (finely diced).
- 1 egg.
- 1/4 cup mayo.
- 1/2 juice of a lemon.
- Cooking oil.
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning ( or any other seafood seasoning).
-Chop the crab meat fine (I added it to my food chopper for best results).
-Mix all ingredients together and form patties.
-Place patties in air fryer and spray with oil.
-Cook for 10 minutes on 380 degrees (I flipped once but optional).
Enjoy on a bun as a sandwich or alone with a meal.
You can add other ingredients to your liking such as red peppers, onions, etc.
Makes 4-6 patties. Refrigerate left overs.
