Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1.5 pounds) jicama
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Peel the jicama by cutting off both ends and using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin and the fibrous layer just underneath.
Cut the peeled jicama into thin, uniform sticks about 3-4 inches long and 1/4 inch wide for easy snacking.
Juice the lime and set the juice aside in a small bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the jicama sticks with the lime juice to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) over the jicama sticks and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Transfer the seasoned jicama sticks to a serving platter or bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy this crunchy, tangy, and slightly spicy snack!
