Many grocery stores will carry jicama in the produce section, especially between fall and spring when it is in season. If you can’t find it at a regular grocery store, try an organic foods market or farm stand! Specialty Mexican grocery business stores may also carry this veggie.
What Do Keto Air Fryer Recipes Like?Jicama tastes like a cross between potato and pear. The texture and taste has also been compared to the water chestnut, but it doesn’t cook up well if you just bake them from raw – instead boil jicama first for best results. You can even use your Instant Pot to soften them up before air frying.
Step 1: Start by peeling the jicama first, then cut into strips. You do not want them to be too thick. About a ¼ inch thick and 3 inches long is best. Thin jicama fries will crisp up best in the air fryer and it will reduce the natural sweetness of the jicama.
Step 2: Next, boil the jicama fries for about 12 to 15 minutes until they are tender and a fork easily pokes into it. The texture and color will change, but ultimately they will end up looking like raw fries about to go into the oven.
Step 3: Pat the jicama fries dry with paper towels and lightly coat them in olive oil, melted ghee, or avocado oil. Even though you are using an best keto air fryer jicama, you still need a little bit of oil to get the fries to crisp up.
Step 4: Add the seasonings of your choice just as you would for regular fries, but you might need more salt to mask the naturally sweet taste of the jicama. See ideas below for my favorite dipping sauce and seasoning combinations.
