Keto Jicama Fries – Tips & Notes
Low-Carb & Keto-Friendly:
- Each serving has only 2 grams of net carbs, making these fries perfect for keto, low-carb, or diabetic diets.
- Jicama is a crunchy, slightly sweet vegetable that serves as a great low-carb alternative to potatoes.
Preparation Tips:
- Boiling: Boil jicama pieces briefly to soften slightly, which ensures they crisp up nicely in the oven. Do not overcook, or they may become mushy.
- Seasoning: Mix the fries evenly with avocado oil and spices so that every fry gets flavorful coating.
- Baking: Spread the fries in a single layer on the baking pan to allow maximum crispiness. Flip them halfway through baking for even browning.
Optional Variations:
- Add cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking for cheesy fries.
- Serve with keto ketchup, garlic aioli, or ranch dressing as a dipping sauce.
Serving Suggestion:
- Ideal as a side dish for burgers, grilled meats, or sandwiches.
- Perfect snack for kids and adults who want a crunchy treat without breaking the low-carb diet.
