Air Fryer, The Easiest Crab Rangoons You Will Ever Make!
Being from Boston, my uncles were all fisherman. Therefore, I was treated to a LOT of seafood, over the years. There was absolutely nothing better than my uncles dropping off the days’ catch to my mom, who would almost make something amazing. I remember my uncle’s dropping off baby lobsters because no one would buy them, now we all know them as chicken lobsters, and if they were free, there would be a line around the block, to get them.
My husband grew up as a good old midwestern boy, but he vacationed every year at Cape Cod, where he ate his share of great seafood.
When I moved to Ohio after we got married, I noticed that the seafood was different, they didn’t have lobsters, they had crab legs, and I literally remember going through the supermarket and saying, what are those? They just looked like something that came from outer space. Instead of cod, they ate salmon. I have never had salmon, so it was an acquired taste, my mother in law made the best salmon that I have ever had. I will probably be making it in the next couple of weeks, as we finish up Lent. She served it with a creamy dill dip, that even my son would eat (granted he would eat it without the salmon, but he would finish his bowl, LOL).
Seafood is important, it’s a great source of protein without a lot of fat. It hits most of the marks, gluten-free, low carb, and other diets.
Pans, I had a hard time finding pans that fit, but then one day, I ran around this amazing, which even includes a muffin tin, talk about a score!
I love a good crab cake sandwich, as do my kids, so today, I thought why not make crab cake sliders? They are really easy to make, and only require a few ingredients that you don’t have in your house.

- Total Time: 12 minutes
- Yield: 30 Servings 1x
- Category: Appetizer
- Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients
- 8 ounces room temperature cream cheese
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 package Wonton on egg roll wrappers
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Start by making your crab filling. Simply blend together the cream cheese and crab meat in a small mixing bowl.
- Put a tablespoon of filling in the middle of the wonton wrapper.
- I couldn’t find wonton wrappers, so I used egg roll wrappers and cut them into 4 pieces.
- Then fold up: I brush water around all of the sides, and then pinch the two sides together and then the other two sides to make a pocket.
- Set in the air fryer tray or basket, rub the outside with the olive oil (outside only) and set the temperature for 300 degrees F, for 7 minutes.
- Plate, serve and enjoy!
