Fried Arancini Balls are a beloved Italian snack originating from Sicily, celebrated for their crispy golden exterior and gooey, flavorful center. These bite-sized delights are made from Arborio rice, often mixed with Parmesan cheese, butter, and sometimes saffron for added richness. The rice is typically shaped around a filling of mozzarella, meat ragu, or peas, then rolled in breadcrumbs and deep-fried to perfection. While their crunchy texture and creamy interior make them irresistibly indulgent, they are calorie-dense due to the use of cheese, butter, and frying oil. However, they offer a decent source of protein from the cheese and filling, as well as carbohydrates for energy from the rice. For a lighter option, some recipes bake the arancini instead of frying. Enjoyed as an appetizer or snack, these savory treats bring a taste of Italy's culinary heritage to your plate.
