How To Make Air Fryer Bacon and Crab Rolls

Air Fryer Bacon and Crab Rolls

Start by soaking your toothpick into cold water for about 10 minutes, and this will help prevent charring. Add the crab meat, tomato sauce, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well.

What Kind Of Crab Should I Use To Make Crab Rolls?

You might be wondering what type of crab you should use to make your delicious crab rolls. Crab is tasty seafood that many people enjoy, but you can use various crabs for this dish.

The three most common types include blue crab, Dungeness crab, and snow crabs. Each one has its unique taste and texture, which makes it perfect for different dishes. If you aren’t sure which one to pick, I recommend using lump claw meat.

You will find this at most local grocery stores, in the seafood department, you will also find it at Trader Joe’s, and Costco. Both of them have great prices!

What Kind Of Sauce To Serve With Crab Rolls:

What kind of sauce to serve with crab rolls? This is a question that I have been asked many times, and it can be challenging to answer. Everyone has their favorite type of sauce for crab rolls.

Some people prefer tartar sauce, while others like a cocktail or remoulade sauces. The best solution is to offer several different types of sauces so everyone at the table can choose what they want on their food.

How Long Can You Keep Crab Rolls In the Fridge?

The shelf life for seafood is concise. It’s recommended that you consume it within two days or 48 hours of air frying this dish.

These do not freeze well, so they are best if you air fry a fresh batch when the craving hits.
