Steps

• Prepare the Chickpea Mixture

• Add the spinach, onion, garlic, bread crumbs, cumin powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the bowl.
• Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
• Shape the Croquettes
• Take a small portion of the chickpea mixture and shape it into a small croquette.
• Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.
• Coat the Croquettes
• In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, flour, salt, and black pepper.
• Dip each croquette into the plant-based milk, then coat it with the bread crumb mixture.
• Cook the Croquettes
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
