2-Ingredient Eggplant Croquettes
You will love these eggplant croquettes.
Ingredients
- 600 gr. eggplants
- 3 tbsp oat flour or breadcrumbs
- salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic and onion powder
for the filling (if you choose to fill them)
- 5 small pieces of feta or yellow cheese of your choice
for coating them (if you choose to do so)
- 3-4 tbsp oat flour or breadcrumbs or cornmeal
Instructions
- Start by chopping your eggplants. Mix them in a bowl. Add 1 tbsp. salt and mix. Leave them aside for 15 minutes.
- Put them on a thin towel and drain them well. The more you drain them, the more water they release.
- Transfer to a non-stick pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes and then add some water. Once they are soft, you can transfer them to a bowl.
- Mix well with the oat flour or breadcrumbs after adding the spices. Mix well with your hands so that the ingredients are incorporated together.
- Make 5 large croquettes. You can bake your croquettes even now.
- I personally like to add a piece of feta to each croquette and "trap" it inside.
- If you want, you can dip each croquette in oat flour, breadcrumbs or cornmeal.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 20-25 minutes. Alternatively, bake in the air fryer at 190C for 20 minutes.
