Creating these Keto Tuna Patties is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Mix Tuna and Egg: In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna and the egg. Use a fork to break up the tuna and mix well.
2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and season with salt and pepper.
3. Incorporate Green Onions: Fold in the finely chopped green onions until evenly distributed in the mixture.
4. Form Patties: Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Press gently to ensure they hold their shape.
5. Heat Oil: In a skillet, heat about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil over medium heat.
6. Cook Patties: Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown.
7. Flip and Fry Other Side: Carefully flip the patties and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side until they are crisp and cooked through.
8. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
9. Serve Warm: Serve the patties warm, perfect for dipping in your favorite sauces or alongside a fresh salad.
