About Beef croquettes

Beef croquettes are a savory dish typically made from ground or shredded beef mixed with mashed potatoes, béchamel sauce, or breadcrumbs to create a creamy, flavorful filling. This mixture is seasoned with herbs and spices, shaped into small cylinders or balls, then coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried or baked until crisp and golden. Originating from European cuisines, particularly French and Dutch traditions, croquettes have become popular worldwide with regional variations. They are a source of protein thanks to the beef, and depending on preparation, may provide fiber and energy from the potatoes or breadcrumbs. However, their nutritional profile can be high in fat, especially when deep-fried, and their sodium content may increase with seasoning or accompanying sauces. Opting for baked versions or serving them alongside fresh vegetables can offer healthier alternatives while still enjoying their rich taste and satisfying texture.
