Oven-Baked Arancini

I started to bake arancini instead of deep-frying because baked ones are a lot easier to make and to clean up.

Today I used lobster risotto, but any type of risotto would work.

Baked Arancini

Ingredients:

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups leftover risotto
1 egg

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a skillet, sauté the bread crumbs with the oil until golden. Let cool enough to work with hands.







Stir the risotto and egg in a bowl to combine. (Add extra bread crumbs if risotto is too runny.) Make about 1 1/2-inch-diameter balls and roll in the bread crumbs to coat.






Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
