❤️🦀 Why You’ll Love Air Fryer Crab Cakes
Simple: These babies are made from simple ingredients that you’ll already have in your house Vegan: Okay, these crab cakes don’t have crab in them because they are entirely plant-based Quick: These vegan crab cakes can be made in under 20 minutes! Crowd Pleaser: Even the seafood/meat eaters in your house will love these crab cakes
🍲 Ingredients
Hearts of Palm: Hearts of palm are vegetables harvested from the inner core and growing buds of certain palm trees. They are rich in fiber, potassium, iron, zinc, and vitamins B2, B6, and C. They also are a great source of protein, iron, calcium, and so much more. Hearts of palm also add a great crab-like texture to these plant-based crab cakes. They have a similar resemblance to white asparagus, but the flavor is much more delicate, making them extremely versatile. You can add them into salads, dips, and since when they are chopped they break down into shreds, they make the perfect crab meat substitute. Artichokes: I love artichokes and they are great in salads, pasta, dips, and so much more. In these cakes, they combine with the hearts of palm to add to the texture. Artichokes are also low in fat and rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Chickpeas: Another great source of protein, chickpeas add nutrients as well to this recipe. They are great for your digestion and have iron, folate, fiber, and more.
