🫓 How to Cook Your Chócolo Arepa
Cook from frozen—no thawing needed.
- Place the frozen arepa directly on a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook for 7–9 minutes on the first side, checking occasionally. Flip once the surface is golden and lightly crisp.
- Cook the second side for 7–9 minutes, until golden and lightly crisp outside and warm and soft inside.
- Serve as is, or carefully slice it open and fill it with your favorite toppings.
💡 Cooking tip: Every stovetop is different. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
