Step 2 Add onion, garlic, egg and tofu and fold through.

Step 3 Using 1/4 cup of mixture for each croquette, form 12 oval shapes (about 8cm in length) on a flat workspace. Combine breadcrumbs with parmesan in a small bowl. Coat croquettes in mixture. Place on tray and spray with oil. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and firm. Serve with lemon wedges and salad.
