Jicama fries! They are a great alternative to traditional potato fries. Jicama is a root vegetable that is from Mexico and can be found in most U.S. grocery stores, but sadly not in the U.K. For our U.K. friends, this delicious "healthier than fried" recipe works just as well with potatoes. Jicama has few calories, lots of vitamin C and is an excellent source of dietary fiber. The texture is different from regular french fries because of their crunchy, crisp texture, but the flavor is all there!
