Crispy Air Fryer Jicama Fries
Enjoy these crispy jicama fries, seasoned with garlic powder and cumin for a healthy, delicious snack.
Ingredients
- 8 cups Jicama (peeled and cut into fries, about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick and 3 to 4 inches long)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of water on the stove. Add the jicama fries and boil for 18 to 25 minutes, until color becomes slightly translucent and no longer crunchy.
- Remove the jicama fries from the boiling water and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels.
- Set the air fryer to 400 degrees (204 degrees C) and preheat for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place the dried jicama fries in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Toss the fries gently to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Arrange jicama fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches to avoid crowding. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through if needed. Repeat with remaining fries.
Notes
- Ensure jicama is thoroughly patted dry after boiling; moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for maximum crisp.
- Adjust air frying time based on the thickness of your jicama fries and your specific air fryer model.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika to the seasoning mix. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
