Sweet Pea Arancini Balls, 25 Ct - 4/Case

Sweet Pea Arancini Balls are mini Italian-inspired breaded rice balls featuring a creamy risotto-style rice exterior with a savory filling of sweet peas and melty cheese in the center. 

Key Features

•  Size and Format: These are smaller, bite-sized arancini (often described as “mini rice balls”). Each pack contains 25 count, and they come in a bulk case of 4 packs (totaling 100 pieces), making them suitable for foodservice, restaurants, cafes, or catering.

•  Preparation: Ready to bake straight from frozen (no thawing needed). They are designed for easy oven baking, though some retail versions (like Aldi’s Appetitos) can also be prepared in an air fryer for extra crispiness. They develop a golden, crispy breadcrumb coating when cooked.

•  Filling and Texture: The exterior is made from seasoned rice (likely Arborio or similar for creaminess), formed into balls, filled with sweet peas and a gooey, melty cheese center, then breaded. The result is a contrast of crispy outside, tender rice inside, and a burst of sweet peas with melted cheese upon biting. 

•  Serving Suggestions: Commonly served as an appetizer or side dish, often with marinara sauce for dipping. They pair well with Italian-inspired meals and are popular for parties or as a vegetarian-friendly option (though they contain dairy and other allergens).
