Ingredients

1 carrot (ground with the S-blade of the food processor until it resembles ground beef)
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed at room temperature
1 can black beans, juice drained and set aside
1/2 cup corn meal, or more for firmer texture
1/2 tsp unrefined sea salt, if using unsalted beans
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp minced purple onion
2 Tbsp reserved bean juice
oil spray



Directions
Place all ingredients (except oil spray) in a bowl and stir together.
Press all ingredients together coarsely with your hands.
Roll croquettes into a round ball about the size of a golf ball and then press into a patty. If croquettes are too moist to patty, add enough corn meal to hold them together.
Spray skillet liberally with oil and turn pan on medium heat. once oil is hot, place patties in pan.
Cook about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they are brown.
Spray oil into pan between batches.

Makes 17 croquettes.
