Ingredients
Directions
Place 6 cups of water in a pot and put over high heat to bring to a boil.
While water is heating, peel the jicama and cut it into thin slices.
Place the jicama into the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes until it begins to soften.
Place boiled jicama on a large towel and dry thoroughly. This step is SUPER important. Make sure they are as dry as can be.
Add jicama into a large bowl.
Drizzle oil over the jicama and toss to coat.
Sprinkle the Dash of Desperation or Truffle Seasoning over the jicama and toss to coat.
Place the jicama slices in a single layer in the air fryer at 390° F and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping 1/2 way through the cooking so they get nice and brown.
Place on a plate and keep warm in a 180° F oven while cooking the batches.
Repeat the process until all fries are done.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve hot. Enjoy!

STACEY SAYS
Making Crispy Jicama Fries-
Don't skip boiling the jicama first! It's key for even cooking. After boiling, make sure to dry them off really well. This helps the oil stick and makes them super crispy.
Halfway through air frying, give those low-carb fries a good shake or flip. It'll make them crispy all over.
Oven Option-
If you want, you can also make these in the oven. Just spread them out on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heads Up: Cooking times might be different depending on what you're using to cook them.
