About Croquettes
Croquettes are small, breaded, and fried rolls commonly enjoyed as appetizers or snacks. Originating in French cuisine, these crispy delights have gained popularity worldwide with variants appearing in Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, and other culinary traditions. Typically made with a creamy mixture of mashed potatoes or béchamel sauce encasing fillings such as minced meat, seafood, cheese, or vegetables, croquettes are coated in breadcrumbs before frying to achieve their signature golden crust. While they provide a satisfying combination of textures and flavors, croquettes are calorie-dense due to frying and the inclusion of starchy and fatty ingredients like butter or cream. Healthier versions may leverage baking instead of frying or incorporate nutrient-rich fillings like lentils, spinach, or sweet potatoes to boost their nutritional profile. Delicious and versatile, croquettes are enjoyed for their indulgent taste but are best savored in moderation within a balanced diet.
