Ingredients

• 1 large jicama
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the jicama. Use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin.

Step 2

Cut the peeled jicama into fry shapes, about 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep the size as uniform as possible for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the jicama fries in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add water until the fries are covered.

Step 4

Microwave on high for 10 minutes to soften the jicama. This step helps achieve a more traditional potato-like texture.

Step 5

Drain the water thoroughly and dry the jicama fries using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

Toss the jicama fries with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly coated.

Step 7

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Place the jicama fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 9

Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

Step 10

Check for doneness. If desired, cook for additional 3-5 minutes until they reach your preferred level of crispiness.

Step 11

Remove the fries from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, such as keto-friendly ketchup or garlic aioli.
