About Croquete

Croquette is a popular dish originating from French cuisine, now embraced worldwide with regional variations. Traditionally, it consists of a mixture of mashed potatoes or creamy béchamel combined with ingredients such as shredded meat, vegetables, or cheese, seasoned with herbs and spices. The mixture is shaped into small cylinders or spheres, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to achieve a golden, crispy exterior. While croquettes are rich in flavor and texture, they can be high in calories and fats due to the frying process and use of butter or oil in preparation. Protein-rich fillings, like chicken or fish, or incorporating nutrient-dense vegetables, can enhance their nutritional value. Opting for baking instead of frying or using whole-grain breadcrumbs can make this dish a healthier option. Croquettes are a versatile comfort food, enjoyed as appetizers, side dishes, or snacks across various cuisines.
