Yum!

🦀 Crab Crunchies 🦀
I was lucky enough to run across these in another group, and they’re soooo good so I needed to share. 🤤

In a bowl: cut up crab meat (imitation or real will work), coat with oil or melted butter (I prefer butter), season how you like it (I used salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder), mix all up until fully coated.

Put in the air fryer at 380 degrees for 8 minutes, open and shake, cook for 8 more minutes, I make a butter and garlic dipping sauce. Done!
