Ingredients
1 Chef Ramsay Crab Cakes (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Tartar sauce or remoulade for dipping
Fresh lemon wedges for a citrusy boost
Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Hot sauce or Old Bay seasoning for extra flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even cooking while keeping the crab cakes crispy on the outside and tender inside.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Crab Cakes
Remove the crab cakes from the box and packaging.
Lightly spray with cooking spray for extra crispiness (optional).
Place the crab cakes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 3: Air Fry the Crab Cakes
Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
For an extra golden finish, brush the crab cakes with melted butter or olive oil in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Extra Crunch Option: Add a sprinkle of Panko breadcrumbs in the last 2 minutes for a crispier texture.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the crab cakes from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Serve immediately with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of remoulade sauce.
How to Serve These Crab Cakes
Classic Seafood Plate: Serve with coleslaw and crispy fries.
Gourmet Upgrade: Top with avocado slices and microgreens.
Spicy Kick: Drizzle with sriracha mayo or Cajun aioli.
