In reply to Mona. Yes! Trader Joe’s has them too. Also to avoid any accidents with a knife peeling it (been there ), use a carrot peeler. Works great and you’ll have a peeled jicama in no time

In reply to Ge ie. My grocery store, HEB, has jicama sticks. They are a lot easier to cut than a whole jicama, or just use them like they are.

In reply to Alice.

Boiling first for 10 minutes really helps them crisp up later, as does slicing them really thin – like McDonald’s fries. Not exactly like potato fries, but very satisfying when you crave them!

Can or should we just boil them for a bit before baking?

plI love these things! I will say though that if you are hoping for something that’s exactly like french fries, these might disappoint you. They’re a little sweeter tasting than french fries, and the centers of them don’t get as soft as french fries. For me, the texture of the center stays a little bit like undercooked potatoes. I don’t mind this at all, but I’m also not expecting taste and feel like something made with potatoes. I don’t think of these as french fries, I think of them as roasted jicama. They’re super easy to prepare, delicious in their own way, full of prebiotics, and my body feels great after I eat them (not true for me after eating french fries). I like to dip them in mayo mixed with spicy stuff. Yum!

OMG! This is hands down my new ALL TIME FAVORITE side dish / snack in the keto universe! The flavor it incredible. I left them in a little too long, so some of the pieces were overcooked (burnt), but even those were delicious!! I can’t believe what an amazing alternative this is to potatoes! I’m a huge potato-holic and I’ll never need another french fry as long as I live with these jicama fries. Everyone should try them!
