I often make these Vegetable, Parmesan, Thyme Croquettes for a quick lunch or light meal when I have vegetables to use up. You can vary the vegetables to suit what you have, but this is my favourite flavour combination. Oven baking these makes them a lot less labour intensive than pan frying them like you would a traditional croquette. My kids love these a lot and I know you and your family ...
