Ingredients

1 lb crab (fresh lump)
3 green onions (diced, whites only)
1 bell pepper (I like red)
1 large egg
1-2 tbsp lemon juice (fresh)
1 tbsp mayo (you can also use Greek yogurt)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup almond flour
1 tsp old bay seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients, mashing the crab meat slightly.
2
Form 7 evenly sized crab cakes and place them on a plate or small baking sheet. Place them in the freezer for ten minutes to firm up. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
3
Spray your air fryer with some nonstick spray. Place the crab cakes in the air fryer (you may need to do 2 separate batches).Air fry at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.
4
Top with some fresh lemon juice and enjoy! I served mine with some Dijon mustard, but use your favorite sauce!
