HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CRAB STICKS
This recipe is super simple but still needs some preparation. Take crab sticks out of the package and find a little corner to unroll them. See the picture below of how its done. Now, tear the unrolled piece in smaller parts. Not too big, not too small. Try to tear sticks in almost even size pieces.
Place all the raw chips on to the medium size bowl. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. I used an olive oil spray for convenience. Get them a good stir.
Place all the crab chips evenly in the air fryer basket. Cook at 320 degrees for about 15 minutes. Check and shake the basket every 5 minutes. If some chips are already browned and crispy pull them out and continue cooking. Add more minutes if needed.
Air fryer crab sticks are a healthier alternative to a store-bought bag of potato chips. This crispy fried snack is made without a deep fryer and is a great go-to whenever you or your family is craving a snack. You only need 4 ingredients and in under 20 minutes, this delicious and nutritious snack is done. Eat them right out of the air fryer or serve as an easy appetizer for holidays or parties.
