Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 30 minutes mins
Servings 5 -6 rice balls
- 2 medium-ripe plantains peeled, Blade C
- 1 piece of whole wheat toast
- 1 egg beaten
- salt to taste
- 3 tsp coconut flakes
- 5-6 tsp goat cheese
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place your spiralized plantain noodles into a food processor and pulse until made into rice-like "bits." Set aside.
Place your piece of bread into a food processor and pulse until made into breadcrumbs. Set aside.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Place your plantain rice in the skillet and toast until the plantain bits are a darker color and begin to slightly brown. When done, pour out into a mixing bowl.
In the bowl, add in 3 tbsp of the breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and coconut flakes. Mix to combine thoroughly.
Over a baking tray lined with parchment paper, mold plantain mixture into balls. Lay each down on the baking tray. Then, take a tsp of goat cheese, roll into a ball and stuff into the rice ball. At this point, you will have to re-mold the rice balls.
Repeat until all of the mixture is used.
Place the rice balls into the oven and cook for 13-15 minutes. Enjoy!
