Make crispy jicama fries in your air fryer! These oil-free fries are loaded with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder for a super tasty fry that's crisp and crunchy!
You can make fries out of just about anything. Besides the obvious russet potato fries and sweet potato fries, there's also more veggie forward fries like zucchini fries. And these jicama fries!
These jicama fries are a lighter, lower carb/calorie version of fries. And because jicama is naturally so crisp and crunchy, the fries still have a lovely texture.
Plus, since jicama is pretty neutral in flavor, you can add some delicious spices to create a bold fry that you'll crave!
Jicama is a root vegetable. It is usually a circular shape with a brown skin.
The inside flesh is white. And it has a texture somewhat like an apple. Though not as sweet.
You can buy jicama in most grocery stores in its whole form in the produce section. It's also typically available in the prepared vegetables section, already peeled and cut into sticks.
Step 1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F or the oven to 425°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. If oven baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2. Peel and slice the jicama into fry-sized strips.
Step 3. Boil the jicama for 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Step 4. Transfer the jicama to a large bowl and toss with the spices.
Step 5. Transfer to the air fryer or prepared baking sheet. Air fry for 15-20 minutes or bake for 20-30 minutes, until slightly golden and crisp. Enjoy!
