BAKED SWEET POTATO ARANCINI (ITALIAN RICE BALLS) VEGAN



Baked Sweet Potato Arancini (Italian Rice Balls) Vegan image

A delicious main course that is full of flavor, but minus the cheese, egg and frying pan! It is a bit messy to make, but you can make ahead and freeze. Sweet potato is enhanced with cashews and nutritional yeast to make a super savory (almost cheesy) flavor. Then it's wrapped in risotto and rolled in bread crumbs before baking. Yum!
