AIR FRYER CRAB CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
• Put 2/3 cup of breadcrumbs into a shallow dish and set aside. In a mixing bowl combine 1/3 cup remaining breadcrumbs with remaining ingredients, gently fold in canned crab meat at the end so it doesn't break apart.
• Divide mixture into 8 equal pieces. Scoop up one part and form into a ball, gently press so it's like a patty.
• Put into bread crumbs and coat outside on all sides. Spray inside of air fryer basket with non stick spray and lay inside, and spray tops with olive oil spray.
• Do not overlap pieces, if basket is small you may need to make 2 batches.
• Cook at 370 degrees for 8 minutes, gently flip each one over after 4 minutes spraying the top again when flipped.
• Serve when crispy with a fresh wedge of lemon.
