Peel the jicama and slice it into thin rounds using a mandoline with a crinkle-cut blade or a waffle blade attachment.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the jicama slices for about 5 minutes to slightly soften them. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to form the seasoning mixture.
Toss the blanched and dried jicama slices in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned jicama slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your low carb seasoned waffle fries as a delicious snack or side dish.
