Jicama Fries
120kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large jicama (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick fries
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Equipment
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the jicama fries with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the fries, then toss again.
- Dust the fries with cornstarch and toss once more to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving—they’ll crisp up further as they sit.

Notes
For a spicier version, swap smoked paprika for chili powder and a pinch of cayenne. To make them oil-free, reduce oil to 1 tablespoon and spritz with water before baking.
