Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Jicama
- 1 cup Avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the jicama and slicing it into thin, shoestring-like strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife for precision.
Step 2
Place the jicama strips into a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes to soften slightly.
Step 3
Drain the jicama strips thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
Step 4
In a deep skillet or a frying pan, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the right temperature.
Step 5
Carefully add a portion of the dried jicama strips to the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Fry the jicama strips for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally using a slotted spoon for even frying.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the fries from the oil and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Step 8
Immediately season the hot fries with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss them gently to coat evenly with the spices.
Step 9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining jicama strips in batches.
Step 10
Serve the keto shoestring fries warm and enjoy them as a crispy, low-carb snack or side dish.
