olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a cost-effective alternative for roasting.

Prepare the cuy by cleaning and gutting it thoroughly.

Marinate the cuy with garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, and bay leaves for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the marinated cuy on a roasting rack in a baking dish.

Roast the cuy in the oven for about 90 minutes, basting occasionally with the marinade.

Check for doneness; the skin should be crispy and the meat tender.

Remove the cuy from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Serve the cuy with boiled potatoes and corn on the side.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and avocado slices.

Accompany with salsa for added flavor.
