Description
Delicious and crispy jicama fries that are a healthier alternative to potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large jicama (sliced into matchsticks)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large pot filled with water, add your sliced jicama fries and place them over medium heat. Boil the jicama for 10-12 minutes, before draining the water and patting the jicama dry.
- Place the sliced jicama into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and mix until the jicama is mostly covered. Toss with the salt and pepper and transfer onto the lined sheet.
- Bake the jicama for 35-40 minutes, flipping them several times to ensure all sides cook evenly. Remove them from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices such as paprika or garlic powder.
