Jicama Fries:1 small jicama, peeled & sliced in the shape of traditional fries1 tablespoon olive oil1 teaspoon sea salt1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper1 teaspoon smoked paprika1 teaspoon chili powderGarnishes:Ketchup (without added sugar)2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced1⁄2 of a medium fresh lime

Instructions

Peel your jicama and slice as fries. Alternatively, some markets sell pre-sliced jicama in the section where pre-cut fruits and veggies are sold, so you can also use these to save time, just make sure they are cut thin enough.Place sliced jicama in a shallow bowl and fill with water.Microwave for 10 minutes to help it soften. Remove from the microwave and carefully drain the hot water from the bowl.Using a pair of tongs, place each piece of jicama on a clean towel to dry off all of its water.Add smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper and chili powder to a mixing bowl. Gently toss the sliced jicama in the spices so that they are coated evenly.Add olive oil and toss once more.Arrange in an even layer in your Air-Fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 400 F (205 C).Check after 12 minutes to ensure your jicama is not burning, but is getting a golden crisp.The jicama fries are done when they are golden and crispy to your liking, or after cooking for 12-15 minutes.Serve immediately with sugar-free ketchup, minced cilantro and fresh lime juice.Enjoy!
