Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Jicama
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the jicama and cut into thin, fry-shaped sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the jicama sticks, and boil for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and set aside.
In another shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each jicama stick into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks well.
Place the coated jicama fries onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other for even cooking.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the fries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately as a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional fries.
