Prepare delicious arepas made from grated cassava — golden and crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside — perfect to pair with your favorite protein for breakfast.


Ingredients
- 2 kg peeled cassava
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
- Oil
Preparation
- Cook the cassava in water until tender, but still firm enough to be grated.
- Drain and let the cassava cool, then grate it.
- Knead the grated cassava, moistening your hands as needed, until it forms a compact dough. Add salt to taste and continue kneading.
- Shape the dough into arepas and cook on a greased, preheated griddle or skillet until golden on both sides.
Note: You can incorporate vegetables (such as spinach, Swiss chard, carrot, etc.) into the dough, depending on your sensitivities.
Note: We recommend serving these arepas for breakfast with your preferred protein (chicken, turkey, etc.) if you're not vegetarian.
