Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Jicama
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cheese curds
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the jicamas and cut them into thin fry-like sticks. Spread them on the baking sheet.
Step 3
Drizzle the jicama fries with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Bake the jicama fries in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Step 5
While the fries are baking, prepare the gravy. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the beef broth, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Step 8
Slowly sprinkle the xanthan gum into the gravy while whisking continuously to prevent clumping. Continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the gravy thickens.
Step 9
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cheese curds on top.
Step 10
Pour the hot gravy over the fries and cheese curds, ensuring the cheese starts to melt.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb classic Canadian poutine!
