Keto Mini Crab Cakes w Cajun Mayo

This recipe serves as either a snack or a party appetizer. Mini crab cakes make great finger food and can easily be keto-friendly without your non-keto friends/family noticing. Paired on the side is a warm dish of cajun mayo dipping sauce, adding a little extra heat and citrus flavor.

40 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine drained canned crab with the parmesan, almond flour, chopped green onion, mayo, and the first round of seasonings: salt, pepper, lemon pepper, paprika, onion powder, and cayenne.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Form approx. 8-10 crab cakes that are about 2 TB of crab mix each. Simply form each portion into a ball and press into a patty on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Bake the tray for about 25 minutes, no flipping required.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    While the crab cakes cool momentarily, make the dipping sauce by whisking together all remaining ingredients. You may microwave the mayo-based dip for up to 10 seconds if you wish.
    Step 4

    Does the sauce start with the 4 tbsp of Mayo?

    I did pork rinds instead of almond flour. And added an egg to help bind. Baked them for 30 since mine were larger. Broiled them for a couple minutes at the end for a little more color. Fantastic!
