1. Heat oven to 325°F In a medium sized bowl, mix together parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, panko bread crumbs and packet of Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dips.

Chill cookie sheet filled with squash croquettes in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
2. Bake in 325°F oven for 10 minutes then turn, spraying pan as turning to prevent sticking; continue baking for 5-10 additional minutes or until croquettes are crispy on outside and cooked throughout.
