Easy Cheesy Baked Tuna Balls are an easy, very tasty, low carb, gluten free & grain free snack. Made with tuna, cheeses, spices, and rolled in a low carb breading and baked until crisp.

I was planning on serving these with a dip, but they were just so darn good plain, that my family ate them before I could make a dip. Oh well, next time maybe. They make a perfect snack or appetizer that everyone will love.

      Barbara, I have not tried freezing these before, but I would think if you wrap them well, then they could be frozen and reheated in the oven.

    I’m totally out of almond flour, but I’ve used sunflower seed flour as a substitute. Just grind some roasted sunflower seeds in a coffee grinder to make your own. Don’t over grind or you’ll have sunflower butter, LOL.

      Petra, you could use ground chicharones (pork rinds), or low carb bread crumbs.

    I have all of these ingredients YAY me!! I love crab meat and salmon…I bet I could make these with those two meats also…like a rolled up crab or salmon patty…YUM! Thank you again and again for sharing your skills. It is to hot to turn on the oven, but I plan on doing these in my toaster oven

      Dana, that is awesome. It is colder here, but I’m not complaining, as I can’t handle extreme heat. Toaster oven is a good idea. Is it a convection one?
