Ingredients:
- 8 oz imitation crab sticks (or chunks)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the Crab Sticks: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Toss the imitation crab sticks in the mixture until well coated.
- Air Fry the Crab: Place the coated crab sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Check for Doneness: The imitation crab should be slightly crispy and golden on the edges. If necessary, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a snack, or pair with dipping sauces like spicy mayo, cocktail sauce, or tartar sauce.
