📝 Preparation Steps

In a medium bowl, mix together the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, crushed saltine crackers, mayonnaise, egg, and Old Bay seasoning.

Worcestershire sauce (use a gluten-free brand, if necessary)1 teaspoonDijon mustard1 tablespoonegg, lightly beaten1

Add the diced red pepper, chopped parsley, and finely diced shallot and combine.

parsley2 tablespoons

Gently add in your crab meat. Mix with the other ingredients, but try to keep some of the crab meat chunks.

Chill the crab cake mixture for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes and up to an hour to help them stick together.

Divide your crab mixture into 5 even balls (roughly 1 cup measurement) and gently but firmly press into a patty. Don’t press too hard; the patty should hold together but not be mushed. Make sure edges are smooth and evenly rounded.

Preheat Air Fryer to 375°F, add parchment liner to your air fryer basket (add liner with your food, not before as it will get sucked to the heating element and burn), and then place the crab cakes on top.

Bake for ⏱️ 12 minutes, turning halfway through.

Remove crab cakes to serving dish and serve hot with fresh lemon slices.
