carrot croquettes
This recipe was made by my Aunt Afton to get her kids (6 and me) to eat more vegetables. I'm 66 yrs young, so you know it's an oldy but goody.

Carrot croquettes are an easy and delicious way to serve carrots as a side dish. They have a crispy crunch on the outside. Inside, they're sweet, soft, and almost creamy. We opted to leave the onions out, but they'd add nice flavor if you opt to include them. Kids will love these and a fun way to get them to eat their veggies.
