Do you miss French Fries? I think fries and pizza are the two most likely reason why people can’t stick with a ketogenic diet. Well my friends I am about to rock your world, because these Keto Jicama Fries are an amazing substitute!

They are baked, so there is no artery clogging oils involved, and they’re pretty easy to make as well.

How to make Keto Jicama French Fries:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, set aside.

Peel a whole jicama with a vegetable peeler, then cut into strips like french fries.

Alternate method: purchase packaged, pre-sliced jicama sticks in the produce department.

Jicama cut into strips in a clear plastic container.

Bring water and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt to a boil in a large pot over high heat.

Serve immediately with your favorite burger, or wings or turn into nachos!

What is Jicama?

Jicama is a tuber that grows on a vine. It is also referred to as Mexican yam bean, Mexican turnip and Mexican potato.

The root’s exterior is yellow to light brown and papery, while its inside is creamy white with a crisp texture that resembles raw potato or pear.

The flavor is slightly sweet like an apple or cucumber. It is usually eaten raw alone or in salads but is also delicious when cooked.

Jicama is high in carbohydrates in the form of dietary fiber. A 3.5 ounce serving has 8.82 grams carbohydrates with 4.9 grams of fiber. Jicama is a low-glycemic food.

It is composed of 86–90% water, so it is a hydrating food. Its sweet flavor comes from the oligofructoseinulin (also called fructo-oligosaccharide), which is a prebiotic.

How do you choose a Jicama?

Look for jicama with a smooth skin with no cracks or bruising that is about 6-inches in diameter. Smaller jicama are sweeter which is good for snacking or mixing into salads.

How do you store Jicama?

Store in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks. Cut jicama can be frozen for up to 6 months. Do not get the jicama wet or it will mold.

Cooked jicama can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days.
