Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cornbread stuffing, mayonnaise, eggs, green onions, and seasonings. Stir until everything is well blended but take care not to overmix.
  2. Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches wide. Arrange the crab cakes on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Allow your air fryer to come to temperature, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
  4. Lightly spray the chilled crab cakes with oil and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve hot with your favorite condiments.
