Mozzarella and Basil Arancini Balls are a delicious Italian-inspired snack or appetizer, originating from Sicily. These crispy, golden bites are made by rolling creamy Arborio rice, combined with melted mozzarella and fresh basil, into small balls, then coating them in breadcrumbs and frying to perfection. The texture is indulgently creamy on the inside and delightfully crunchy on the outside. While rich in flavor, these arancini are a source of carbohydrates from the rice and fats from the cheese and frying process, making them a satisfying treat in moderation. Basil adds a touch of freshness, along with vitamins A and K, while mozzarella provides protein and calcium for bone health. To balance the dish, pair with a light, nutrient-rich salad or a tomato-based dipping sauce. Mozzarella and Basil Arancini Balls celebrate Italian comfort food with a fusion of taste and texture, best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
