Vegetable Arancini is a delicious twist on a traditional Italian street food, originating from Sicily. These golden, crispy risotto balls are made by forming creamy, vegetable-infused risotto—typically including ingredients like peas, spinach, zucchini, or carrots—around a gooey cheese center, then breading and frying them to perfection. While traditionally deep-fried, they can also be baked or air-fried for a lighter version. Rich in flavor and texture, Vegetable Arancini offers a balance of carbohydrates from the rice, fiber from the vegetables, and protein from the cheese. Although highly satisfying, their fried preparation can increase fat content, so enjoying them in moderation is recommended. To boost their nutritional benefits, pair them with a fresh salad or a side of marinara sauce, which adds antioxidants from tomatoes. Vegetable Arancini is a delightful way to savor a classic Italian treat with a healthier, veggie-packed twist.
