Tips for a good recipe for leek, date and carrot croquettes in a airfryer

• Carrots, leeks and dates are best passed through a food processor so that they are not noticeable when eating the croquette
• The salt is added before the flour and milk but when everything is added you must rectify to your liking
• Before putting the bowl in the fridge, let it cool because it can be cut
• Spraying Olive oil before cooking is optional but it will give it a golden touch
• I usually get 18 or 20 large croquettes if you make them smaller the cooking time can vary
• For the breading you can pass the croquettes through egg, breadcrumbs and repeat the process again for each croquette if you want it crunchier.
