How to disable an annotation when running locally?

Question

I have a Spring Boot API that contains the following ApplicationConfig class:

@Configuration
public class ApplicationConfig {

    @Bean
    public ModelMapper modelMapper() {
        ModelMapper modelMapper = new ModelMapper();
        modelMapper.getConfiguration().setMatchingStrategy(MatchingStrategies.STRICT);
        addCustomMappings(modelMapper);
        return modelMapper;
    }

    @Bean
    @LoadBalanced // This annotation must be commented out when running on local machine.
    public RestTemplate restTemplate(RestTemplateBuilder restTemplateBuilder) {
        return restTemplateBuilder.build();
    }

}

When running locally, I must comment out the @LoadBalanced annotation on the restTemplate method for the API to function properly. This is not ideal. I would rather have this annotation automatically disabled based on the environment the app is running in. I am considering two approaches to solving this problem:

1. I am already using Maven profiles in the pom. They are named local (default), dev, and prod. Currently these profiles are being used only to set a config value in the pom. I wonder if I could specify whether to disable the annotation in question using Maven profiles.

2. I also have different application.yml files being delivered to the project by a config server based on the environment. Perhaps an environmental variable in the yml will give me the ability to disable the @LoadBalanced annotation.

Either way, I need to figure out how to get the annotation disabled. How might I go about doing this? I considered creating two versions of the restTemplate method (one with @LoadBalanced and one without), but I don't know a good way to conditionally call one vs the other. The method runs on startup due to some Spring magic I do no understand. Any ideas?
