Catherine Barclay
Kabocha Croquettes feature a creamy, flavourful center of kabocha squash, perfectly air-fried for a crisp, golden exterior. These delightful bites are a crowd-pleaser, sure to become a party favourite that vanishes in seconds!
- ½ kabocha squash seeds removed, cubed small
- ½ brown onion diced
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp sage
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp cracked pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ cup cornflour
- ½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
Take cubed kabocha and steam until tender enough to mash but not too soft.
While the kabocha is steaming fry in a small amount of water or stock the onion and garlic.
Once tender, allow the kabocha to cool, then remove the skin with a knife or spoon.
Transfer the kabocha to a bowl and mash with a fork, then add the onion and garlic mix and stir through.
Add all the spices and mix through.
Put cornflour, milk and breadcrumbs into separate bowls.
Using a spoon, form the mashed mix into balls and roll the balls in the cornflour, then the milk and finally the breadcrumbs.
Place each ball into an air fryer basket. Once complete, air-fry for 15 minutes at 180°C (350℉), turning often.
Enjoy!
