Keto Jicama Fries
If you have never had jicama before, you are in for a treat! These fries are so much like the real thing that even picky kids will eat them. I love the garlic Parmesan sauce here, but they are also great served alongside a juicy burger with keto ketchup.

Sauce
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for garnish if desired
- Parsley and Maldon sea salt for garnish
Peel the jicama and cut into fries using a sharp knife or the blade of your food processor. (You want them about ¼" thick)
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the jicama and cook for about 15 minutes. Drain and dry on paper towels. Place in a bowl and toss with the oil.
Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees. Arrange the fries in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes until the jicama, is tender and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Sauce
Meanwhile, melt the butter over medium-high heat in a small skillet or saucepan. Add the garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Cook for about a minute. Stir in parmesan.
Toss the fries with the garlic butter. Top with additional parmesan cheese if desired, and sprinkle with parsley and Maldon sea salt.
