Jicama has a texture similar to potato with a slightly sweeter flavor, not dissimilar to apple. The nearly neutral flavor pairs well with many spice combinations, so get creative! A little lime juice would pair gorgeously with the chili powder. Or make them a dessert treat with a combination of cinnamon and nutmeg!
1 lg. jicama, peeled and either spiralized with a wide setting or cut into fry shapes
2 T. olive oil
1/2 t. salt
1 T. onion powder
1 t. cayenne pepper
2 t. chili powder
