Jicama Zebra Fries

Ever wonder what to do when you have too much jicama? Here’s a quick guide to making a quick snack. Best served with barbeque sauce. The stripes on the fries are caused by the moisture escaping the jicama and creating fissures where the starch from the jicama collects and browns.
