Fried croquettes are crispy, golden snacks commonly found in various cuisines, including European, Japanese, and Latin American dishes. Typically made with a filling of mashed potatoes, ground meat, seafood, or vegetables, binders like flour or eggs are used to hold the mixture together before being coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. Their satisfying crunch and versatile fillings make them a popular appetizer or side dish. While croquettes offer energy from carbohydrates and protein, their fried preparation increases calorie and fat content, making them less ideal for frequent consumption. Healthier variations can be baked or air-fried to reduce oil intake. Commonly accompanied by sauces, croquettes provide trace minerals like potassium and iron, especially when filled with nutrient-rich ingredients such as fish or spinach. Balancing portion size and preparation methods can enhance their nutritional value.
