Spicy Crispy Jicama Sticks

Ingredients

• 1 large, peeled and cut into sticks Jicama
• 2 tbsp tbsp Olive oil
• 1.5 tsp tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp tsp Garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp tsp Salt
• 2 Lime
• 1/4 tsp tsp Cayenne pepper(optional)
• 1/4 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. Parboil jicama sticks in salted water for 10 minutes and drain thoroughly, patting dry — this step is key for tenderness inside and crispness outside.

2. 2

   Toss sticks with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne until evenly coated.

3. 3

   Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet without crowding.

4. 4

   Bake 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are browned and crisp.

5. 5

   Finish with juice of one lime and a shower of chopped cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges.
