Ingredients

1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 large egg whites
3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon prepared wasabi
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs, divided
1-1/2 cups lump crabmeat, drained
Cooking spray
SAUCE:
1 celery rib, chopped
1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon prepared wasabi
1/4 teaspoon celery salt

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 375°. Combine first 7 ingredients; add 1/3 cup bread crumbs. Gently fold in crab.

Place remaining bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Drop heaping tablespoons crab mixture into crumbs. Gently coat and shape into 3/4-in.-thick patties. In batches, place patties in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Spritz crab cakes with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, 8-12 minutes, carefully turning halfway through cooking and spritzing with additional cooking spray.
Meanwhile, place sauce ingredients in food processor; pulse 2 or 3 times to blend or until desired consistency is reached. Serve crab cakes immediately with dipping sauce.
