Zucchini croquettes with cheese (family recipe)

You are going to like these zucchini croquettes a lot and they will surely be a hit at your house. We wanted a  light dinner, and today we have prepared this recipe that we really liked, because they are zucchini and cheese croquettes , crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside.

The little ones will like them because of their flavour, and the parents because they will be eating vegetables in a healthy way. You will also see that they are very easy to prepare, and we can even prepare them in advance and freeze them, and then fry them directly.

Although these croquettes are fried, as we are talking about light dinners we can also bake them, turning them once they are golden on one side. Who signs up?
