Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven or Air Fryer

Oven Method: Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
Air Fryer Method: Preheat to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, chopped crab, green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

Separate the biscuit dough into 8 rounds. Flatten each round into a 4-inch disk.

Step 4: Add the Filling

Spoon about 1 ½ tablespoons of the crab mixture into the center of each dough round.

Step 5: Seal the Bites

Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal tightly.

Step 6: Arrange on Baking Sheet or in Air Fryer

Oven Method: Place the sealed bites seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Air Fryer Method: Arrange in the air fryer basket.

Step 7: Egg Wash

Brush each bite with beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish.

Step 8: Bake or Air Fry

Oven: Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Air Fryer: Air fry for 10–12 minutes, until golden and crispy.

Step 9: Serve

Let the Crab Rangoon Bites cool slightly before serving. Pair with sweet chili sauce for dipping, and garnish with additional green onions if desired.

Notes

Spicy Kick: Add hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the filling for a spicier version.
Vegan Option: Use vegan cream cheese and plant-based crab alternatives to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
Baked vs. Air Fried: Both methods work great! The air fryer gives extra crispiness, but the oven is an excellent option too.
