Low Carb French Fries
Because jicama is so low in starches (carbs), it won’t create fries with dry and fluffy insides like potatoes do. However it will make a tasty substitute when you’ve got that craving!
Cut jicama into plank-style fries – 1/4″ thick by 1/2″ wide. This means you only have to flip them once in the oven to get them crispy. Place into boiling water to soften for 10 minutes.
Once they are drained, pat dry then toss with oil and seasonings. Then put on a preheated baking sheet, flipping halfway through cooking.
Note: You can also use rutabaga to make these as well.
