Paleo Sweet Potato Tuna Cakes

While we are not eating an entire whole food, paleo, or keto diet in our home, I AM trying to serve less carbs, more whole foods.

We’re working towards make a more gentle switchover, to make it more sustainable long term and hopefully curb some of the cravings.

These Paleo Sweet Potato Tuna Cakes are a delicious and easy meal to prepare, that is kid approved in our home!

It’s colorful, full of flavor, and nutrients!

Paleo Sweet Potato Tuna Cakes Ingredients

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or add a layer of parchment paper.

Set aside.

In a medium bowl, add all ingredients and combine using clean hands.

Use a ⅓ measuring cup to scoop up the mixture and then form into patties.

Place on prepared baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven for 20-23 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Remove from oven.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, guacamole, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
