Ingredients
1/2 cup steamed carrot
1/2 cup steamed broccoli
1 whole egg lightly beaten
1/2 cup freshly grated white cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
2 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 and cover a large baking sheet with parchment papers set aside.
In a big bowl or shallow dish, throw your steamed carrot and broccoli in and mash with a fork or potato masher. Mash until only small chunks exist.
Add in your egg, cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix until everything is combined (see pictures above).
Now add in your rice and using your hands, mix the rice in with the vegetable mixture.
Create rice balls using your hands to form an ball and place on the baking sheet. I like to use a cookie scoop and then roll into balls with my hands so that the balls are all uniform! I use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop. I made 30 balls using that scoop! You can make them twice the size and get around 12-17 balls depending on the size you make. * See notes.
Bake at 350 for 25-27 minutes until golden brown. Leave them out to cool for a couple minutes and then you can start serving and eating!
You can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy!:)
Notes
* Make sure when forming the rice balls that they are tightly packed and not falling apart. Rice balls that have not had a solid shape have fallen apart during the baking process.
