Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 lb) Jicama
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the jicama and cutting it into thin stick shapes, resembling traditional French fries.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 4
Dip each jicama stick first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat them thoroughly in the coconut flour mixture. Ensure each stick is well-covered for extra crispiness.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Test the heat by placing a small piece of jicama into the oil; it should sizzle upon contact.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated jicama sticks in the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the fried potato sticks from the skillet using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm, alongside your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, if desired.
