Description
Keto Arepas are a delicious low-carb twist on a traditional classic, featuring a delightful combination of savory cheese and a tender texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Salt to taste
- Fillings like cheese, meat or vegetables (as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the almond flour, shredded mozzarella, egg, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until a homogeneous dough forms.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into small discs, about the size of your palm.
- Place the formed discs on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Fill the Arepas as desired with cheese, meat, or fresh vegetables.
- Serve the Arepas warm and enjoy every delicious bite!
Notes
Make sure not to roll the Arepas too thin to retain their shape and prevent the fillings from falling out. You can prepare them in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
