Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Jicama
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the jicama and cut it into fry-shaped pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the jicama fries in a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes to soften.
Drain the jicama fries and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a large bowl, toss the jicama fries with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the jicama fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the fries in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat.
Add the butter and cream cheese to the saucepan, stirring until melted and smooth.
Slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the black pepper and ground cumin, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Remove the fries from the oven and serve immediately with the warm cheese sauce for dipping.
