Eggplant Arancini is a delightful Sicilian-inspired dish that combines rich flavors and textures in a bite-sized form. This recipe features Arborio rice mixed with tender roasted eggplant, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and fresh herbs, shaped into balls and coated in breadcrumbs before being fried to golden perfection. Originating from Italian cuisine, arancini are traditionally a street food staple known for their comforting taste and crispy exterior. While the dish offers fiber and antioxidants from the eggplant, and calcium from the cheese, its fried preparation may increase saturated fat content and calories. To lighten the dish, baking or air frying can reduce its fat content while preserving its signature crunch. Pair Eggplant Arancini with a fresh tomato sauce or salad for a balanced option that celebrates the Mediterranean flavors and wholesome ingredients.
