In a large bowl, combine crab meat, breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat too much.

Form the crab mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches wide. You should get around 8 cakes.

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes.

Give the air fryer basket a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Place the crab cakes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.

Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Once cooked, carefully remove the crab cakes and serve them hot, perhaps with a side of tartar sauce or lemon wedges!
