Aren’t these the cutest croquettes you’ve ever seen?  Such a tasty, kid-friendly food to serve for Easter dinner.  We plan to make these an Easter tradition around our house.

Carrot Croquettes Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 ½ cups steamed carrots

½ egg white, from 1 egg

¼ cup parmesan cheese

¼ cup bread crumbs

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp sugar

dash of salt

dash of pepper

dash of cumin

dash of garlic powder

dash of all spice

Bread crumbs for coating

Parsley sprigs for garnish

What to Do:

Mix all ingredients, except bread crumbs reserved for coating. Shape mixture into cone-shaped carrots, packing mixture together well.  Gently roll in bread crumbs and set on a platter.  Spray skillet with non-stick spray or use about a teaspoon of olive oil in pan. Over medium heat, fry croquettes until golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes per side.  Arrange on platter, adding a sprig of parsley for carrot tops.
