Servings: 4

Ingredients

Jicama: 1 large, peeled and cut into thin fry-like strips
Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Paprika: 1 teaspoon
Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
Salt: to taste
Black pepper: to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the jicama using a vegetable peeler, then slice it into thin fry-like strips, aiming for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the jicama fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the fries are well coated with the seasoning.
Spread the jicama fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once baked, remove the fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will enhance their crunchiness.
