Baked Collard Green Croquettes

Baked Collard Green Croquettes

I’ve never cooked collard greens before but it came in my CSA and it was just sitting in my refrigerator. They were getting kind of limp so I needed to do something with them otherwise they would just go bad. I came up with this recipe for Baked Collard Green Croquettes and I was really happy with the results. I had a bunch of potatoes also from the CSA and decided to combine the two, add some cheese and bake it.  This is a really healthy, tasty appetizer that can be made in advance. It’s also a great way to sneak in veggies to your kids dinner.  You can substitute kale or any hearty green leaf vegetable.
