We love using jicama in keto recipes!

Jicama is a Mexican root vegetable that’s crunchy like a potato, yet slightly sweet tasting similar to an asian pear. The taste is pretty mild so it can easily take on the flavors of seasonings and become super versatile in recipes as a substitute for potatoes and even yummy crunchy dippers for appetizers.

Some of our other favorite keto recipes utilizing jicama are:

The result is a satisfying crunchy snack with a sweet & spicy taste from the jicama and seasonings. If you’ve ever had Mexican-inspired sweet watermelon with chile and lime seasoning, this has the same vibes, except it’s totally keto-friendly!

Tips for making these awesome chile lime jicama sticks:

    • I love how you can adjust each ingredient to taste. Want more spice? Add more chile powder until desired. It’s easy to taste and go!
    • No need to be intimidated cutting up jicama. I just peeled it using a vegetable peeler and used a sharp knife to cut the jicama into long shaped sticks.

‘Wow, these are so fun, fresh, and tasty! This is officially my daughter’s favorite snack, replacing Takis! I love the combination of the fresh lime juice, crunchy jicama, and chili flavor! Plus, the cilantro is the best part! I threw this together in no time and it made for the perfect afternoon snack!”

    Do you cook these? Fry them?

  2. Melissa

    I have some chili lime seasoning from Trader Joe’s. I sprinkled it on jicama. It was tasty. Not sure how different it is from the recipe with the separate ingredients.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh cool! Glad to hear how yummy it was!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Probably pretty similar! Thanks for the suggestion!

  3. Lali

    By the way, Tajin powder has sugar in it.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks for the feedback, Lali! That is an option that may be good for some, however you can use the seasoning as the recipe lists instead. As always, be sure to choose the items that work best for your plan. Hope you love these!
