About Spinach croquette

Spinach croquettes are a savory dish often found in Mediterranean and European cuisine, showcasing spinach as the star ingredient. Typically blended with mashed potatoes or béchamel sauce, these croquettes include seasoned spinach, cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, and spices, forming a mixture that is shaped into small patties or cylinders before being fried or baked. Spinach is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and antioxidants, making this dish a nutritious choice. Baking instead of frying can further enhance its health benefits by reducing added fats. The addition of cheese and breadcrumbs contributes flavor and texture but also adds calories and sodium, so portion size and preparation methods play a role in keeping the dish balanced. Spinach croquettes are versatile, enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side, providing a delicious way to incorporate greens into your diet.
