In the kitchen, zucchini has established itself as a versatile and affordable ingredient, standing out for its low caloric load. Although it allows for a wide variety of preparations, from creams to gratins, this time an alternative is presented: zucchini and cheese croquettes. Unlike the classic recipe that requires béchamel, this version is simpler and resembles the making of meatballs, with a cheese filling that can vary according to preferences, ensuring that it melts properly when cooked.
The process for preparing these croquettes begins with crushing the zucchini and mixing its ingredients, which include breadcrumbs and eggs. Once the dough is formed, the cheese-filled croquettes are shaped, then breaded and fried until they achieve a perfect golden color. This dish, in addition to being easy and economical, offers multiple nutritional benefits, since zucchini is low in calories and rich in water, fiber, and vitamins, promoting digestion and weight maintenance. It is recommended to accompany them with a tzatziki sauce to enhance their flavor.
