This is a great idea! I’ve never thought of making fries out of jicama, and now that I know, it makes so much sense! I definitely need to try this, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Lily. I hope you like them as much as my family does.

There is 58g carbs in Jicama. How is this keto?
officially gluten free
A Jicama is quite large. We only eat a small amount. Also thereās 32 g of fibre in a whole jicama, so if you minus the fibre from the carbs it would be 26 net carbs. Divide that into 4-6 servings it would only be around 4.3 net carbs per serving.

Love your recipe, I was afraid they might taste sweet but they tasted great. Started Keto 3 weeks ago so researching like crazy and these fries are gold medal. Will make again. We each had 3.5 ounces which was 11 fries. Gotta watch those carbs. Thank you ? I wanted to post a picture but couldnāt find that option.
officially gluten free
Thanks Billie! Iām so glad you liked them. We only eat a small amount as well but I think itās still worth making them. Unfortunately thereās no option to post a picture in comments here on the website but if youāre on Pinterest they have an option to share a picture and Instagram and Facebook do as well. I love seeing peopleās photos.

Have you tried these without the boiling step? I love the crunch of raw and stir fried jicama and wonder how that would taste.
officially gluten free
They would definitely be a bit crunchier but if you prefer that texture they’ed be good.
