Its flesh is juicy and crunchy, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. Some think it tastes like a cross between a potato and a pear. Others compare it to a water chestnut. Other names for jicama include yam bean, Mexican potato, Mexican water chestnut, and Chinese turnip. Jicama is a starchy root vegetable that people describe as tasting like a sweeter and juicer version of potato. It is low in calories, sugars, and fats, but rich in fiber, and contains several essential vitamins and minerals. Jicama may be a good choice for people with diabetes or those on a low-sugar diet. Jicama ½ teaspoon each smoked paprika & cumin Avocado or olive oil Kosher salt optional ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes start the fries by pre-heating the oven to 425 F and bring a medium-size pot of water to a boil. Peel the jicama with a veggie peeler then slice them into long fries about ¼ inch thick. Watch the video in this post to see how it is done. Add ½ teaspoon of salt to the boiling water along with the fries. Boil for 15 minutes. Drain fries and pat them dry with a large towel. Place fries on a sheet tray and season with 2 tablespoons of oil, ¾ teaspoon salt, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and mix very well using your hands. Arrange the fries in one single layer, if you have to use 2 sheet trays that’s fine. Bake fries for 20 minutes, flip them over and bake another 15-20 minutes. You may have to turn the broiler on medium or high the last few minutes to help them get crispy, but watch them like a hawk so they don’t burn. Remove from oven and allow to cool a couple of minutes before serving or storing. The jicama plant grows mostly in Mexico and Central America on a long vine. But the part you eat is the root. On the outside, the jicama looks like a light brown beet. Inside, it looks and feels like a raw potato. keto, air fryer, french fries, jicama, low carb
