Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Jicama
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Peel the jicama and cut into thin, fry-shaped sticks, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the jicama sticks, and boil for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and set aside.
Step 5
In another shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Dip each jicama stick into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks well.
Step 7
Place the coated jicama fries onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other for even cooking.
Step 8
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the fries.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve immediately as a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional fries.
