Ingredients

  • 1 Jicama peeled (note 1)

  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Prep. Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice + season. Cut jicama (1) into 1/4" matchstick fries. Toss in oil (1 tablespoon) and sprinkle with salt (1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and any additional seasoning you'd like.
  • Bake. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, making sure to leave enough room between the fries so they can crisp up (you may need to use a second pan, depending on the size of your jicama). Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, flipping the jicama halfway through to evenly crisp each side. Allow fries to cool slightly before diving in. Taste, and adjust seasoning to your liking (I usually add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of salt-- again this will depend on the size of your jicama). Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Peeling jicama - The best way to peel the jicama is to remove the top and bottom (the root) and use a sharp knife to carefully remove the peel.
  2. Seasoning - salt + pepper are all you need! But you can get fancy with your favorite seasoning. Just know a lot of seasoning mixes contain salt, so you may want to leave it out.
  3. Nutritional information is for 1 serving if you divide this recipe into 4, and doesn't include dips:
