Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Daikon radish (or jicama, if preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel the daikon radish (or jicama) and cut it into fry-sized strips, roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cut radish sticks into a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
In a small mixing bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the radish fries and toss until they are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve the low-carb spicy fries hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or spicy mayo.
