Description
These croquettes are perfect little bites to serve at a gathering. A mixture of vegetables, such as onions, leeks, zucchini, eggplant, carrots, and bell peppers make for a flavorful appetizer. The vegetables are chopped, sauteed, and mixed with some eggs and breadcrumbs to form a delicate dough. The dough is coated with breadcrumbs then fried for a crisp and hearty snack. Serve them with an herbed yogurt dipping sauce for a perfectly balanced bite.

Any parent who can’t get their children to eat vegetables must try this! My kids hate veggies, but the cheese and breading in this is a great disguise. They simply cannot get enough of these. They appear to be so bad, like fast-food, but they are really very healthy. Change the vegetables up from time to time and have a whole new snack food for them.
