HOW TO COOK YOUR AREPAS

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.

Tip: Every stovetop is different. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
