Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- 1 cup chestnut or almond flour
- Salt to taste
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- Boil the zucchini until soft, then remove from heat and mash it into a purée — a food processor can help make it smoother.
- In a bowl, combine the purée, the cup of chestnut flour, and salt. Mix until you get a homogeneous, manageable dough.
- Shape the dough into small arepas and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown (baking time may vary depending on your oven).
- Make sure both sides are evenly browned.
- Serve and fill as desired.
Note: We recommend pairing this with your preferred protein (chicken, turkey, fish, etc.) for breakfast if you're not vegetarian.
