Tasty jicama fries

I just made the most delicious "fries" for a fraction of the calories and fat and a boat load more nutrients. All you need is a jicama, some cooking spray and your favorite veggie seasoning (or just some salt and pepper). 

Never heard of jicama? Well let me introduce you. First of all, the "j" is pronounced as an "h"...just a warning so you don't look like an idiot when raving about your "new fries" (you're welcome!). Jicama is a root vegetable that is full of fiber and vitamin c and lacks calories and fat (yeah!). You can find it an any grocery store in the produce isle. 

What to do:

• Pre-heat oven to 400
• Peel the jicama and cut into "fries" or cubes or whatever shape you'd like
• Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray
• In one layer, place your cut up jicama on the cookie sheet, and spray with cooking spray
• Top with favorite seasoning
• Bake for 30 minute, flipping the "fries" half-way through
• Turn the oven off and let them stay in there for about 10 more minutes (if you like them extra crispy, like the photo, make it 30 minutes...they were fantastic!)

You can eat an entire small jicama worth of fries for 140 calories, 32 carbs, 18 grams fiber (what?!) and 3 grams of protein.

Enjoy!
