Crispy Keto Garlic Parmesan Jicama Fries Ingredients
- 1 medium jicama
- 1 cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- avocado oil for frying
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Crispy Keto Garlic Parmesan Jicama Fries Directions
-
1Preheat 1 inch of avocado oil to medium heat in a large skillet.
-
2To peel a jicama, cut off the root. From the cut side, cut some vertical notch down the side like you would peel the skin off with a knife. Grab the jicama skin and pull down to the other end of the jicama. Repeat on all sides of the jicama.
-
3Cut jicama into shoestring french fries sizes with a knife.
-
4Toss shoestring jicama fries until evenly coated in a shallow bowl containing protein powder and seasonings.
-
5To see if the oil is hot enough for fries, throw a tiny piece of the batter into the hot oil. If it sizzles right away, the oil is ready. Add jicama fries to the hot oil. Don't over-crowd the pan. Add just enough to cover the bottom of the skillet. Fry for about 7-12 minutes or until the fries are golden brown. Remove from heat and place on a paper towel to catch the excess oil.

6Season with garlic, parmesan and parsley if desired.
Jicama is a root vegetable or tuber similar to a potato. It has a brown outer skin similar to a potato and the inside flesh is white and hard. Jicama is also called a Mexican Turnip or Mexican Potato since they are mostly grown south of the border.
To peel a jicama, you want to cut off the root end of the vegetable. Then with a knife, make little vertical cuts going around the vegetable. Next grab onto one of those vertical notches and pull down towards the other end. The skin should peel off easily most of the time. If it doesn’t, create another notch with your knife. Continue this process moving around the jicama.
Any unflavored whey protien powder will work for this easy keto recipe but I like to use
