Airfried Beet and Chickpeas Croquettes
Croquettes are deep fried round snack usually made with meat or vegetable along with bread crumbs. On my recent trip to Italy, I had variety of croquettes and I wanted to remake a healthier version in my kitchen. These Beet and Chickpeas croquettes are loaded with protein and fiber. These are healthy and we are going to Air Fry them. They turn out crunchy and tastes so good when paired along with crema sauce.
