Jicama is a satisfying crunchy snack that is starchy enough to
satisfy a craving for chips or toast. It has a texture close to a crisp
apple, but a flavor that is bland and slightly sweet with a spicy,
earthy edge and so goes well with strong flavors.
To prepare:
Cut the peel from the jicama.
Slice into carrot-stick size portions (approx 1/4" to 1/2" thick by 3" to 4" long)
sprinkle liberally with lime juice
sprinkle lightly with sea salt
sprinkle moderately with chili powder
If you want to combine flavors on a veggie platter, jicama pairs well with
cucumbers, carrots, and (odd as it sounds) watermelon or mango.
