About Ham croquettes
Ham croquettes are a popular appetizer or snack originating from Spain, often enjoyed as part of tapas. They are made by combining finely chopped or minced ham with a creamy béchamel sauce, then shaping the mixture into small rolls or balls, which are coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden and crispy. While their savory flavor and satisfying texture make them a delightful treat, they are typically high in calories and fat due to the frying process and the inclusion of butter and flour in the béchamel sauce. On the plus side, the ham provides protein and certain essential nutrients like iron and zinc. To enjoy a lighter version, some opt for baking instead of frying or experimenting with lower-fat ingredients. Best paired with fresh salads or dipping sauces, ham croquettes are a versatile and indulgent taste of Spanish culinary tradition.
