Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1.5 pounds) jicama
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the jicama by cutting off both ends and using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin and the fibrous layer just underneath.
Step 2
Cut the peeled jicama into thin, uniform sticks about 3-4 inches long and 1/4 inch wide for easy snacking.
Step 3
Juice the lime and set the juice aside in a small bowl.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the jicama sticks with the lime juice to coat them evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle the chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) over the jicama sticks and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 6
Transfer the seasoned jicama sticks to a serving platter or bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy this crunchy, tangy, and slightly spicy snack!
