Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 40 minutes

Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups jicama sliced (about 1 small)
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• ¾ teaspoon sea salt divided
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

1. Peel jicama and slice into french fry pieces.
2. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon sea salt into medium pot of water. Bring to a boil.
3. Boil jicama fries in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain in colander.
4. Place drained jicama pieces into a large mixing bowl. Coat with avocado oil, then sprinkle on ¼ teaspoon sea salt, garlic powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Blend in spices.
5. Spread fries onto oiled baking pan. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes, turning halfway through baking time, until fries are crisp.

Notes

• For crispier french fries, remove the jicama from the oven after about 10 minutes and then fry in hot oil until browned.
• Radish or turnip can be used in place of the jicama and may not require boiling first.
• (From Paula's Comment) These freeze really well. Just boil them for 5 minutes, cool them in an ice bath, then lay them out on clean towels until dry. Freeze on a cookie sheet then transfer to bags. You can then spritz them with oil and cook in the air fryer (or oven).
