    Re: How much jicama = 5 carbs

    Hey guys! I tried jicamam for the first time about 2 months ago and loved it...I made it two ways: thinly sliced and deep fried like potato chips and cut like french fries and deep fried. I cooked then for a very long time, but they don't really crisp up. I covered them in a legal BBQ rub and they were very good, but anyone got any tips for crisping them up a bit more? thanks!

        Higgies, what do you mean by "crisp", do you mean "brown"? Because my jicamas never get soft. I pan fry them with butter and olive oil, garlic and onion sometimes. I also dice them pretty small. Let me find a picture hold on.
        OK here is the pic. Otherwise I "oven fry" them in a glass pan again with butter and olive oil. Takes about an hour I guess to get them browned up nice. And don't forget to turn them after a while.

                OOh, those look good! I gathered it took a while to get them crispy. I deep-fried them for about 15 minutes and they just got sorta not limp. I'll try your way next time!

                    Not as far as I know.
                    I did a thourough search of our local 'ethnic' shops and no-one knew what i was talking about
                    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
                    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                        Thanks Elizellen. The vegatable adventure continues... I fried some plantain, I am pretty sure its too starchy for now and it wasn't something I loved. Bok choy in a thai style broth was excellent. This weeks challenges are chinese leaf and celeriac.

                                This network is based in the UK right? Email them and ask where they got their jicama for the Jicama Un-fries recipe at the bottom of the page! LOL
