In a skillet, gently sauté the garlic and onions in oil over low heat. After a couple of minutes, add the parsley, salt, and pepper, continuing to cook until the vegetables are tender, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Coat each croquette in the egg mixture, followed by a roll in breadcrumbs, then place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Generously spray the croquettes with olive oil, roughly 1 tablespoon. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they achieve a golden-brown color.
