Jicama recipe for girls ;) Baked apples?

[jmprgrl74]

It's funny that the other thread is down there about Jicama because I just purchased my first one this weekend. I thought I read somewhere that they can taste like apples and are good for cooking with some cinnamon, butter, splenda and such to taste like baked apples. I can't find a recipe though. I was going to just make up my own unless ya all know of a good one?

BTW, I freaked a bit putting it into Fitday. 11.47g carbs?! The fiber is really good too though so that makes it okay right?

OooOooOoooh I love jicama!

I eat it like an apple, peel it and eat it! LOL YUM.

I don't really care for it cooked because it never really softens. I like chayote squash better for making cinnamon apples with butter, cinnamon and splenda. AND it looks like apple when it's cut up.

Anyway, Jicama is considered a "salad" veggie, so you can have 2 cups a day provided you have the room in your carb budget. AND it has LOTS of fiber and is really good for you.

I went to the market saturday and bought 13 of them....I gave 5 to my mom and 8 for me ! I AM the jicama queen. hahhahah

Go Jicama!

Re: Jicama recipe for girls Baked apples?

YES, Jicama is allowed on induction! AND it's on the "salad" veggie list, so you can have 3 cups a day if you want (and can "afford" it in your carb budget).

Scooter, you know me so well LOL

Barbie--love your new name!

Re: Jicama recipe for girls Baked apples?

I'm going to have to break down and try it. I finally found a couple stores that carry it but haven't been brave enough to try it. LOL

This is a recipe for OWL, but just leave out the walnuts and it will work well for induction and is absolutely YUMMY if you can find the olive oil.

For giggles on the 'Let's Talk Jicama With Joy' show:

Jicama Coleslaw

2/3 cup green pepper, julienned

1 small jicama, julienned

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped jalapeno pepper

2/3 cup mayonnaise

4 teaspoons lemon juice

4 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon splenda



Method:

In large bowl, mix together cabbage, peppers and jicama. In food processor or blender, puree jalapeno. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, red wine vinegar and splenda. Blend. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture and mix well. Serve cold.

Would this be good Joy?

Re: Jicama recipe for girls Baked apples?

I think that sounds delicious! I wish I could eat more jicama, but my intestines don't allow more than 1/2c. in a day. Joy, you must really be made of steel.
