Crab Cakes (clean eating)

I love seafood. I also love quick and easy lunches I can reheat in my air fryer. This recipe nails both. I was nervous they wouldn’t turn out since I’ve never made them before but they were great. Tons of flavor and the perfect size. Pair with a side of veggies and lunch is served.

INGREDIENTS
1 lb lump crab meat

1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp onion powder
Black pepper, to taste
