Ingredients

Servings
  • 9 ounces crab meat picked free of shells, lump
  • 1 tbsp roasted peppers (jarred)
  • 1/2 cup ritz cracker about 13, reduced fat, crushed
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise light
  • 1 whole egg beaten, plus 1 egg white
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle in adobo sauce or more to taste, minced, canned
  • 2 scallions finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice fresh
  • 2 tbsp red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise light
  • 2 tbsp cilantro or parsley, fresh
  • 1/2 lime (juiced)
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. In a small blender (or magic bullet) puree mayonnaise, lime juice, roasted pepper and chipotle pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine crushed crackers, eggs, scallions, pepper, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
  3. Mix well, then fold in crab meat, careful not to over mix so the crab remains in large chunks.
  4. Gently shape into 4 patties using a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Chill in the refrigerator at least 1/2 hour before baking or freezer 10 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a baking sheet with oil spray.
  6. Bake about 8 to 10 minutes on each side, until browned.
  7. Drizzle red pepper chipotle lime sauce over crab cakes and serve.

Notes

  • Note: To make them in the air fryer, Air Fry 370F until the edges are golden, about 10 minutes turning halfway
