Equipment

  • Sheet Pan These USA stainless steel sheet pans are great for one-pan meals!
  • Citrus Juicer This hand-held citrus juicer is fantastic for fresh lime and lemon juice. Great for making cocktails!
  • Crab Cracking Tools Makes removing the sweet crab meet from the outer shell a breeze!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (24 oz. pkg.) Snow crab legs
  • 2 lemons 1 for juice, other for serving
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup butter 1/4 c. for crab, 1/4 c. for serving
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a shallow, rimmed sheet pan with foil.
  • Place thawed crab legs evenly onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with the juice of 1 lemon and the minced garlic. Cut up 1/4 c. (4 Tbsp.) of butter into small pieces, and place evenly on top of crab legs. Lastly, evenly sprinkle the crab legs with the lemon pepper.

For Pre-Cooked Crab Legs (noted on packaging):

  • Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees for 5-7 minutes.

For Raw, Uncooked Crab Legs:

  • Serve right away while warm with additional lemon wedges and melted butter for dipping.

Notes

My go-to sheet pan: USA Pans Stainless Steel Non-Stick Sheet Pan which is perfect for baking these crab legs. It's durable, easy to clean and is made in the USA!
