Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Jicama
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the jicama and cut it into 1/4-inch thick sticks to resemble fries.
Bring a pot of water to boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the jicama sticks in the boiling water for 10 minutes. This will help soften the jicama and reduce its natural crunchiness.
Drain the jicama and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the blanched jicama, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the jicama is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned jicama sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately as a delicious low-carb side dish.
