Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large jicama
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley
Instructions
Begin by peeling the jicama. Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin.
Cut the peeled jicama into fry shapes, about 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep the size as uniform as possible for even cooking.
Place the jicama fries in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add water until the fries are covered.
Microwave on high for 10 minutes to soften the jicama. This step helps achieve a more traditional potato-like texture.
Drain the water thoroughly and dry the jicama fries using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Toss the jicama fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
Place the jicama fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Check for doneness. If desired, cook for additional 3-5 minutes until they reach your preferred level of crispiness.
Remove the fries from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, such as keto-friendly ketchup or garlic aioli.
