Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil spray.
  • Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until slightly chunky.
  • Add the mashed sardines, red onion, bell pepper, garlic, cilantro, egg, ground flax, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Form the Cakes: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into small patties creating 12 cakes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the Cakes: Spray the tops of the patties lightly with olive oil spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Serve: Let the cakes cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with a side salad, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
