Low Carb Crispy Seasoned Jicama Fries

Sides, Vegetable

Ingredients

1 lb jicama (I buy pre-sliced from Trader Joe's)

3 tbs butter or oil

1 tsp chili powder

1-2 tsp salt, to taste

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

dash of paprika

dash of black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Peel & slice jicama into french fry shapes.

3. Bring the jicama slices to boil in a pot on the stove. Allow to boil for 15 minutes. Then remove and pat dry.

4. Melt together your butter/oil and seasonings.

5. Toss the jicama in the seasoning mix until it’s evenly coated.

6. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 40 mins, flipping half way through.

7. Remove from the oven when done and let them rest for 3-4 minutes before serving.

Notes

Note: I like buying pre-sliced jicama from Trader Joe's, which lets me bypass most of this step! I still double check to make sure they are the size fries I want.

Baking time variez by oven. If the fries aren't crisped to your liking, continue to bake them, checking every 3-4 minutes.
