Dive into indulgent flavor with this Whole30 Creamy Crab Dip, a decadent appetizer that's as health-conscious as it is delicious. Made with tender, fresh crab meat and a rich blend of Whole30-approved mayonnaise and creamy coconut cream, this dip offers a luscious texture and perfectly balanced flavor. Aromatic hints of garlic, onion powder, paprika, and a splash of fresh lemon juice add layers of depth, while a touch of hot sauce provides a subtle, tantalizing kick. Baked to perfection in just 15 minutes, this warm crab dip is garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and herbal freshness. Serve it alongside crisp, Whole30-compliant veggies like bell pepper strips or cucumber slices for a crowd-pleasing appetizer that's gluten-free, dairy-free, and brimming with wholesome goodness.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the coconut cream, Whole30 approved mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the fresh crab meat and chopped green onions into the coconut cream mixture. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the crab dip is heated through and slightly bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm with Whole30 compliant vegetables like sliced bell peppers, cucumber, or celery.
