  • 100g carrot, grated
  • 4 spring onions, chopped
  • 40g sweetcorn, frozen or tinned
  • 35g dried breadcrumbs, plus extra for coating
  • 1 to 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped

      Measure all the ingredients, except the extra breadcrumbs, into a food processor. Whizz until finely chopped.

    • step 2

      Take the mixture out and shape it into 8 to 10 croquettes

    • step 3

      Spread the extra breadcrumbs out on a flat plate. Roll the croquettes in the breadcrumbs to coat them on all sides.

      Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Sauté the croquettes for 5 to 10 minutes, until golden and heated through.
