How to make vegan sweet potato croquettes:
The first step is to cook the sweet potatoes or sweet potatoes. You can cook them in water, bake them on a baking sheet or wrapped in aluminum foil until soft. Let them cool, peel them and mash with a fork until they become a puree. Preheat the oven to 180ºC and prepare a tray covered with baking paper.
Grate the zucchini and let it drain. You can use a bag of vegetable milk or a clean kitchen towel to drain the grated zucchini well and remove as much liquid as possible. In a bowl mix the sweet potato, zucchini, salt and pepper and mix all the ingredients well.
Take small portions of dough and form small balls with your hands and then flatten them into homemade croquettes. Repeat until the dough is finished. Pass the sweet potato croquettes through the breadcrumbs and place them on top of the oven tray you had prepared. Put the sweet potato croquettes in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Let cool and serve the vegan sweet potato croquettes with a pasta salad with avocado for example.
