About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 5 oz tuna in water
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- a pinch salt
- tartar sauce
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 400°F (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2While the oven heats, drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it with a fork.
- 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna, shredded cheddar cheese, the large egg, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and the pinch of salt.
- 4Using a fork, mix everything together until a thick, shaggy dough forms; the cheese shreds should remain visible for texture.
- 5Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest for 2–3 minutes to allow the egg to bind the ingredients.
- 6Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface (optional) and shape it into ten equal sticks, each about 3–4 inches long.
- 7Arrange the sticks evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each for even browning.
- 8Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the sticks are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- 9While the sticks bake, stir the creamy tartar sauce in a small bowl to ensure it’s smooth and ready for dipping.
- 10Remove the tuna sticks from the oven and let them cool on the sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
- 11Serve the hot sticks with the tartar sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy immediately.
