Prep Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pea Mixture: In a food processor, combine peas, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mint, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper until a coarse mixture forms.
  2. Shape Croquettes: Form the mixture into small patties or balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter.
  3. Coat Croquettes: Lightly roll each croquette in flour, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 380°F and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes.

  6. Serve: Remove from air fryer and serve warm.

Tips

  • Ensure peas are fully thawed to prevent excess moisture in the mixture.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Use a spoon to help shape the croquettes evenly.
