Oven-Baked Jicama Fries Recipe

If you’ve never tried them before, jicamas are a Mexican yam that resemble a beet but have flesh similar to a potato. The taste of jicamas is mild and sweet and perfect for seasoning with all of your favorite flavors! But the best selling point, in my opinion, is the fact that this versatile root is super low in carbs and sugars, making it a healthier choice for things like fries! Prepare to be a fan!

These jicama fries are insanely delicious. They are seasoned with paprika, garlic, and shredded parmesan for flavor you’ll LOVE! Jicama fries are cheesy and savory with the best hint of warm spice. One bite of these and you’ll be hooked! Combined with the amazing golden outside they get, this is a perfect health-conscious (and keto-friendly!) snack to have without sacrificing flavor and texture!

Ingredients You’ll Need

As long as you’ve got jicamas, the rest of the ingredients are likely in your pantry right now! It only takes a few simple ingredients to make these delicious, crispy fries. Measurements for each of these ingredients can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

• Jicamas: You can find these next to other root vegetables at the grocery store. You’ll want them to be peeled and sliced before you start seasoning them.
• Olive Oil: Helps the seasonings stick and the outsides of the fries become nice and crispy. Melted butter works too!
• Grated Parmesan: Everything is better with parmesan! It adds the best cheesy flavor to these baked jicama fries. Try grating your own parmesan for the best flavor!
• Seasonings: I used a blend of minced garlic, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. You can adjust the amount you add to your liking!
