Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix warm water and sea salt in a bowl, stirring until the salt dissolves completely.
Combine areparina with the water mixture, stirring gently until you form a moist, moldable dough.
Shape fist-sized portions of the dough into balls, then flatten into discs about ½ inch thick.
Heat a cast-iron or non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add oil, then fry the arepas for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the fried arepas to your baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until puffy and golden.
Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
