TL; DR: First swap the pedal to make sure the issue is the pedal. If the 
clicking goes away, then you know it's the pedal. If not, you need a deep 
dive into other possibilities. 

If it is the pedal, make sure the pedal threads are greased or have 
anti-seize, install a pedal washer if you don't have one installed 
currently, and check again. 

Next check the spindle/bearing adjustment for any play. If there's play, 
adjust it out. If the spindle isn't adjustable, you're SOL on that count.

If the pedal cages are bolted on, drip some Tri-Flow/similar at the 
bolt/cage interface and cage/body interface and carefully make sure the 
bolts are tight. You want to use a good wrench and care since the bolt head 
is probably small and shallow. 

If the cages aren't bolted on, drip some Tri-Flow/similar into the space 
between cages and pedal body. 

I don't know if you can just pound on the peened cage/body interface---I 
mean nothing's stopping you from doing that,  just not sure if it'd be 
effective, and it could cause damage and ugliness. 

That's about all that comes to my scattered mind at the moment.

And just so it's said....

Clicking Pedal Syndrome can bring you down some dark and scary places.

Joking aside, what seems like a pedal click can come from many other places 
on the bike, and may have zero relation to what you're hearing/feeling from 
your recent pedal installation. Plenty of stories here if you do a search. 
Folks have found "pedal clicks" to be seatposts, saddles, stems and/or 
handlebars. You swear you can feel it in the pedals, but the offending tick 
is somewhere else entirely. And much time and agony can be experienced 
running it down.

Good luck!
