Cauliflower Arancini is a modern twist on a classic Italian appetizer traditionally made with rice. This innovative version replaces starchy rice with finely riced cauliflower, offering a lighter, low-carb alternative without sacrificing flavor. The mixture includes cauliflower, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings like garlic and parsley, shaped into bite-sized balls and lightly fried or oven-baked until golden and crispy. Originating from Sicily, arancini are typically served warm as an appetizer or snack. The cauliflower variation provides a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins C and K while lowering the overall calories compared to the traditional version. While it retains a crispy outer layer, the preparation method—whether fried or baked—impacts its healthiness, with baking being the more heart-friendly option. Paired with marinara sauce, this dish seamlessly combines indulgence with wholesome ingredients for a guilt-free treat.
