Ingredients
Materials
- Bowl
- clean kitchen towel
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 370°F (190°C).
Meanwhile, wash the zucchinis and peel them. Grate them with the large holes of the grater and place them in a clean kitchen towel.
Squeeze the cloth to remove as much water as possible from the zucchini.
Put the grated zucchini in a bowl and add the grated parmesan, egg, breadcrumbs, mint chopped with a knife and season with salt and pepper.
Start mixing with a spoon, then with your hands until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Take the mixture and form small croquettes with your hands. Then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the operation until there is no more mixture. Cook at 370°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, then turn them over and continue cooking for another 15 minutes.
Let them cool for 5 minutes before eating them. There you go, the baked zucchini croquettes are ready!
Observations
How long can I keep zucchini croquettes?
You can keep them 3/4 days in the refrigerator. Leave them at room temperature for a few minutes before serving them or warm them slightly in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10 minutes.
Can I freeze zucchini croquettes before cooking and cook them later?
Yes, let them thaw completely before cooking to prevent too much water.
Can I fry zucchini croquettes?
Yes, pour a drizzle of oil in a large pan and, once hot, add the zucchini croquettes. If you prepare them in a pan, we advise you to make flat pancake-style meatballs for more even cooking.
What can I use instead of mint for zucchini croquettes?
You can use other aromatic herbs such as basil, thyme, coriander or parsley.
Can I eat the zucchini croquettes cold?
Of course. They will also be perfect as an appetizer or to take away for lunch break or a pic nic!
Can I reheat zucchini croquettes in the microwave?
Yes, 30/40 seconds will be enough!
