Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 lb) Jicama
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by peeling the jicama and cutting it into thin stick shapes, resembling traditional French fries.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Dip each jicama stick first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat them thoroughly in the coconut flour mixture. Ensure each stick is well-covered for extra crispiness.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Test the heat by placing a small piece of jicama into the oil; it should sizzle upon contact.
Carefully place the coated jicama sticks in the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried potato sticks from the skillet using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm, alongside your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, if desired.
