Air Fryer Keto Crab Cakes

These Air Fryer Keto Crab Cakes are super easy to make and will definitely create a taste explosion in your mouth! These are grain-free so they are also gluten-free as well.

Now I don’t follow a keto diet or anything. However I do try and limit my carb intake, because I find it makes me feel lighter and less bloated. It’s all about balance right?!

I love love love Crab Cakes, but since I went gluten free I could no longer order these at restaurants which was a really big bummer.

So I decided to make them at home whenever I get that seafood craving!

I lightened them up by making them in my air fryer (affiliate link) instead of frying them in oil too. They still achieved a nice crispy outside in the air fryer!

To make these add Crab Meat, Almond Flour, Shallots, Parsley, Old Bay, Salt, Pepper, Egg, Mayo and Dijon to a medium size bowl. Form into patties and place them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This will help them to stay firm and not crumble when air frying.

Brush melted Butter over patties and place in your air fryer basket at 400F for 10-15 minutes, flipping half way through. 

For the dipping sauce I mixed together:

• 1/2 Cup Mayo
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
• 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Omg let me tell you, this sauce so freaking delicious with these Crab Cakes! It will definitely leave you wanting more!
