Recipe of Mozzarella Croquettes in airfryer

Today we bring you a recipe for mozzarella croquettes, ideal as accompaniments or starters of many meals and that you can prepare quickly and easily in your airfryer.

Although the custom in Spain is to prepare croquettes with Iberian ham or chicken, we will present you with a very tasty variant that is not usually made very often and will surprise your guests.

However, it is not a very healthy dish, since sunflower oil and mozzarella cheese make it a food with a high fat content.

๐Ÿง† It is recommended to always search healthier alternatives to sunflower oil, so in this case we can count on olive oil to prepare the croquettes.

๐Ÿง† You can always make the mozzarella croquettes recipe healthier by changing ingredients like wheat flour for gluten free flour

๐Ÿง† In our experience we find that many recipes tend to soak croquettes in oil more than necessary. This is not necessary, since the air fryer can do its job with a minimum of oil.

The mozzarella croquettes are a perfect starter if you accompany them with some courgette sticks or fried hake with lemon

Tips for a good croquette recipe

  • As we mentioned initially, it is better moderate the amount of oil that we apply on the croquettes.
  • Croquettes they can be accompanied with a diverse amount of sauces and spreadstherefore we recommend trying them with cheddar and BBQ sauce.
  • We can add to the breadcrumb mixture a tablespoon of chili or chili powderwill give a spicy flavor with good results when combined with cheese.

Substitution of ingredients

  • Breadcrumbs โžก๏ธ We suggest trying the sugar free cornflakes, we will obtain the same results and crispier croquettes with a special flavor. What we will do is crush the flakes without turning them into powder.
  • White salt โžก๏ธ We can use pink salt, much more nutritious.
  • Wheat flour โžก๏ธ Flour without tac, such as rice or buckwheat (For this recipe we do not recommend preparing the croquettes with cornmeal).
