Keto Tuna Cakes: A Delicious Low-Carb Delight!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (5 ounces) tuna, drained
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tuna patties to the skillet.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard or a few dashes of hot sauce to the tuna mixture.
- Substitute the almond flour with coconut flour for a different texture, but use only 2 tablespoons as coconut flour is more absorbent.
