Preheat oven, then melt the butter to toss the fries in. Toss until well coated, then sprinkle the garlic powder, the onion powder and the salt. Toss until the fries are evenly coated. Place the jicama fries 1/2 inch apart on a ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 30 – 40 minutes, turning half way.

To make the Easy Keto Gravy, start by frying the sliced mushrooms and onion in the butter for 20 minutes or until caramelized.  Add the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar and the beef stock. Then cook over medium heat for another 20 minutes.

Using a blender or food processor, puree the beef stock and mushroom mixture until smooth. Return to the pan then bring back to a boil. Add the heavy cream and salt and pepper. If using salted beef broth you may not need to add any more salt.

WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.

On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
