Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel and chop the jicama into fry/wedge shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add the chopped jicama to a bowl and add about 1/2 cup water.
- Cover with a paper towel and microwave on high for 10 minutes, giving a quick stir halfway. You can also boil them in water for 10-15 minutes if you prefer or don't have microwave.
- Once done, carefully remove from the microwave, the bowl will be really hot!
- Drain off any excess water and pat the jicama dry.
- Toss with the olive oil and seasonings. Feel free to add any other seasonings of your choice, I really love rosemary!
- Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and spread into one even sheet.
- Bake for 25 minutes, flip/stir around and bake an additional 20-30 minutes or until the edges are crispy and the center is cooked through. The goal is to get them nice and soft on the inside, which is why microwaving first is crucial.
- Serve with ketchup, guacamole, or my spicy tahini dressing.
Notes
If you don't have a microwave, you can boil the jicama for about 15 minutes first, until tender on the inside.
These fries are delicious with just about any spice blends, so use whatever you have on hand!
