Breaded croquettes are crispy, fried delicacies typically made from a savory mixture of mashed potatoes, ground meat, vegetables, cheese, or seafood, coated in breadcrumbs. Originating in French cuisine, croquettes have become beloved worldwide and feature prominently in Spanish, Dutch, and Japanese menus. They are golden on the outside and soft on the inside, providing a satisfying texture contrast. While croquettes offer a good source of protein and carbohydrates depending on the filling, their healthiness is diminished by the frying process, which adds significant fat and calories. Baking can be a healthier alternative to frying, reducing oil absorption. Ingredients like vegetables in the filling can contribute valuable vitamins and minerals. Moderation is key, as croquettes are best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet rather than a staple food.
