Ingredients

  • 2 cups mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Cooking spray or additional olive oil for baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and become tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mushroom mixture, breadcrumbs, parsley, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  4. Shape the Croquettes: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into oval or round croquettes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Lightly spray or brush the croquettes with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
