Ingredients

2 large jicama sliced into matchsticks
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large pot filled with water, add your sliced jicama fries and place them over medium heat. Boil the jicama for 10-12 minutes, before draining the water and patting the jicama dry.
Place the sliced jicama into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and mix until the jicama is mostly covered. Toss with the salt and pepper and transfer onto the lined sheet.
Bake the jicama for 35-40 minutes, flipping them several times to ensure all sides cook evenly. Remove them from the oven and serve immediately.
