They’ll take just 15 minutes to prep and cook, but that process doesn’t involve a lot of work.

You can always use fresh jicamas if you have them lying around.

Adding the seasonings is really just a matter of tossing everything into the air fryer and hitting it with oil.

These are so easy, you can even do them on busy weeknights without needing an oven running all day.

You can make this jicama slaw as a side, or add some to a sandwich if you prefer.

It’s super crunchy and delicious.

I like it best with soft dark rye bread.

If you don’t want it too sour, try using light whole wheat.

The crispiness is a bit different from regular fries, as they’re cooked in a cast-iron skillet instead.

That said, it doesn’t take long for them to cook through and become golden brown with hints of garlicky flavor.

Serve them as an appetizer or side dish at your next keto party!

But it tastes so much like cucumber that you won’t even notice.

Serve it as an appetizer or side dish with your favorite grilled meats or fish.

The secret is in the jicama.

To make it more colorful, you can add a few extra veggies.

I like to throw in some bell peppers to give the slaw a little zip.

The key to making carrot slaw is to mince your carrots pretty fine.

Otherwise, they turn bitter and tough.

Jicama tortillas are a tasty alternative to your usual tortilla.

It’s a good idea to prepare the salad ahead of time, so you can make it in just 20 minutes or less.

It may not be flashy, but this is an excellent way to use up your leftover strawberries.

You’ll use jicama to create the crunchy texture and contrast against the juicy fruit.

The dressing features olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and balsamic vinegar for a lovely balance of sweet and zesty flavors.

21. Black Bean Jicama Tacos With Chipotle Cream

Jicama is a Mexican vegetable that has an almost similar texture to potatoes.

However, it doesn’t have the same cooking time and isn’t as robust when cooked.

Still, I think jicama has a lovely crunch that goes well with tacos.

And this recipe uses black beans to add some more protein!

The chipotle cream is just pure cruelty.

It’s so creamy and delicious you’ll want to lick the bowl clean.

23. Thai Jicama & Red Onion Salad

Red onion, Thai jicama, and ginger are the perfect trio to make this salad.

The sweet red onions help cut through the heat from the chilis.

They’re also a great addition for adding a bit of crunch.

And what makes this salad extra special?

  • It doesn’t use oil! (Folks with heart conditions should definitely skip it.)
  • It uses Thai chili paste! Butterflied jalapenos will do instead.

I love using Thai chili paste because it gives this salad a light sweetness that balances out the heat.

24. Mango Avocado Salad With Honey Lime Vinaigrette

This recipe is a delicious way to enjoy all the wonderful flavors of ripe mangoes and avocados.

The freshness of the ingredients, combined with the salty sweetness of the bacon, makes this salad impossible to resist.

The avocado slices add another layer of creaminess that balances out all those flavors.

The honey-lime dressing brings everything together and adds a new flavor profile for you to try.

You’ll love how this salad is easy to make but still tastes like it came right out of a restaurant!

25. Chile And Lime Infused Jicama Sticks
