Instructions

  • Heat some olive oil over medium heat using a medium-sized frying pan and add the Vegan spread.
  • Add the flour and stir to combine well for 2-3 minutes. Then add the plant-based milk and stir until everything is well incorporated.
  • Transfer the dough to a shallow pan or casserole and leave it in the fridge for an hour.
  • Prepare the ingredients to shape the croquettes. Place some all purpose flour on a plate, then mix all the ingredients for the vegan egg and whisk until everything has been incorporated, and use a deep bowl to add the breadcrumbs.
  • Shape the croquettes by making a cylinder shape. Coat the croquette with flour, then dip it into the vegan egg mixture and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the dough has been used.
    Vegan Croquettes - step by step
  • At this point, you can deep-fry the croquettes (see FAQ and Tips) or store them in the freezer overnight to air-fry them the next day.
  • To freeze them we use a Ziploc bag, place them on a plastic chopping board for an hour and then remove the board and leave them in the freezer to avoid from sticking or breaking.
  • Take the frozen croquettes out of the freezer. Set the air-fryer to 200C (400F) for 2 minutes, then lower it to 180C (350F) for 16-18 minutes.
  • Add some olive oil to the croquettes with a brush and add them in batches to not overcrowd the basket.
  • Serve while warm and enjoy.
