Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Jicama
- 1 cup Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by peeling the jicama and slicing it into thin, shoestring-like strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife for precision.
Place the jicama strips into a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
Drain the jicama strips thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a deep skillet or a frying pan, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature.
Carefully add a portion of the dried jicama strips to the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Fry the jicama strips for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally using a slotted spoon for even frying.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Immediately season the hot fries with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss them gently to coat evenly with the spices.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining jicama strips in batches.
Serve the keto shoestring fries warm and enjoy them as a crispy, low-carb snack or side dish.
