Ingredients
- 1 medium Jicama
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the jicama and cut it into 1/4-inch thick sticks to resemble fries.
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the jicama sticks in the boiling water for 10 minutes. This will help soften the jicama and reduce its natural crunchiness.
Step 4
Drain the jicama and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
In a large bowl, combine the blanched jicama, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the jicama is evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned jicama sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately as a delicious low-carb side dish.
