Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the lump crab meat, pepper, green onions, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, Old Bay Seasoning, and lemon juice and mix until just combined.

Step 3

Gently form four evenly sized crab patties. Lump crab meat has a lot of juices inside and you want to keep as much in as possible.

Step 4

Place a piece of parchment round down inside the hot air fryer then carefully place each crab cake in the air fryer.

Step 5

Cook the fresh crab cakes in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes until the crust turns golden brown. Do not flip while cooking.

Step 6

Remove the crab cakes from your air fryer and enjoy with your favorite sauce and extra lemon on top, if desired!
