Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Jicama
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin, fry-like strips, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the jicama strips into a large pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, toss the jicama strips with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated.
Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss the jicama again to evenly coat with the spices.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Place the jicama fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between them. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Air fry the jicama fries for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. Cook until the fries are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Once cooked, remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately, garnished with additional salt or your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
