Vegan croquettes are a plant-based twist on the popular snack originating from European cuisines, particularly Spain and France. These crispy delights are typically made with a creamy filling of mashed potatoes, blended vegetables, and seasonings, often bound with plant-based flours or breadcrumbs. Many versions include high-protein additions like lentils, chickpeas, or tofu to make them more nutritious. Lightly coated in breadcrumbs and air-fried or baked, vegan croquettes are lower in unhealthy fats compared to their deep-fried counterparts. They are free from animal products, making them cholesterol-free and suitable for those following a vegan or heart-healthy diet. Packed with fiber from whole food ingredients and free from processed additives when homemade, vegan croquettes can be both satisfying and health-conscious. However, store-bought versions might contain added sodium or oils, so selecting freshly prepared or minimally processed options is key for maintaining their wholesome appeal. Ideal as an appetizer or snack!
