Fried croquettes are crispy, golden-brown snacks or appetizers originating from European cuisine, particularly Spain and France. Typically made by combining a creamy mixture of mashed potatoes, béchamel sauce, or ground meat such as chicken, beef, or fish, they are seasoned with herbs and spices, then shaped into small cylinders or balls. These are coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried to create their signature crunchy exterior and soft, flavorful interior. While rich in flavor and texture, fried croquettes are high in calories and fat due to the frying process and added fats in the ingredients. However, they can provide protein if made with meat or fish and some fiber when vegetables like spinach or peas are included. Consuming them in moderation and pairing them with fresh greens or lighter sides can help balance their indulgent nature.
