You can either bake, fry or air fry these crab cakes. I prefer baking and air frying over pan frying because it uses less oil so it's healthier. It's also easier- no worrying about flipping delicate crab cakes in hot oil. Just put them on a sheet pan or in the air fryer basket, cook, and you're done! If you want a crispier texture, you can pan-fry them in olive oil or butter.
