Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound Lump Crab Meat
  • 1/4 cup Plain Yogurt
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Heaping Teaspoon Old Bay
  • 2 Teaspoons Yellow Mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut aminos
  • 2 Teaspoons Dried Parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Gluten Free Panko

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, egg, Old Bay, yellow mustard, coconut aminos, dried parsley, lemon juice, and salt
  2. Add the lump crab meat and the Gluten Free Panko to the bowl with the wet ingredients, and use a spatula to gently fold it all together.
  3. Place the gluten free crab cake mixture into the fridge for an hour, or into the freezer for 30 minutes
  4. After the crab cake mixture has chilled, take it out and use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to scoop out the crab cake into mounds onto a parchment lined sheet pan (it makes about 5)
  5. With your hands, you want to lightly pack the mounds into gluten free crab cakes just till they hold together, you don't want to compress them too much
  6. Place 4 crab cakes into your air fryer basket that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray
  7. Air fry crab cakes at 370 degrees F for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is a nice golden brown color
  8. I like using a thin, flat spatula (like a fish spatula) to lift the crab cakes out of the hot air fryer basket and onto a serving tray
  9. Serve with cocktail sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to use lump crab meat in this recipe
  • You can substitute the plain yogurt for mayonnaise if you want
  • Don't over work the gluten free crab cake mixture, mix it just until everything is well coated
  • Chilling is essential, so please don't skip it!
  • When forming the crab cakes, don't compress them too much. You want a nice, melt in your mouth texture, not a hockey puck
  • Air fry until these gluten free crab cakes are lightly golden brownΒ
