Croquettes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplants in half, score the flesh, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until tender.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and place it in a mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, eggs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Croquettes

    Shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Fry the Croquettes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
