How to Make Crab Cakes in the Air Fryer

NOTE: All air fryers cook differently. This recipe was made using a Cosori 5.8 air fryer. If you’re using a different air fryer you may need to add additional time or even cook for a little less time. This recipe should be used as a guide if you’re using a different air fryer.

How do I store leftover crab cakes?

Store leftover air fryer crab cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Can I make the crab cakes ahead of time?

Yes! You can make the crab cakes 48 hours in advance. Follow all of the steps to make the patties before adding them to the air fryer. Place the raw patties into an airtight container inside the refrigerator. If the container is small, use parchment paper to separate the patties.

How do I reheat leftover air fryer crab cakes?

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Reheat the crab cakes in the air fryer at a temperature of 350 degrees for 4-5 minutes or until heated through.  I hope you enjoy these air fryer crab cakes as much as we do!
