Meat croquettes are savory fried snacks that originated in European cuisine, particularly popular in countries like France, Spain, and the Netherlands. These bite-sized delicacies are typically made with minced meat, such as beef, chicken, or pork, combined with flour, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings to create a creamy, flavorful filling that’s coated in more breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden brown. While croquettes are a comfort food enjoyed worldwide, their nutritional profile can vary. They are a good source of protein from the meat, but their high-fat content from frying and the carbohydrate-heavy coating make them calorie-dense. Homemade versions can be baked instead of fried to reduce saturated fat and calorie intake. Croquettes pair well with fresh salads or steamed vegetables to balance their richness. Though not an everyday health food, they are a delightful treat enjoyed in moderation.
