Don’t let the name scare you! Jicama is a common ingredient in Mexican cooking. And it’s delish! The texture is similar to the texture of an apple or a raw potato but it tastes sweet. Lime juice and chili powder are perfect companions! If you are taking this snack on the go, store the jicama bites in a glass or plastic container. Then give it a good shake before eating to redistribute the seasoning.

Ingredients:

1 ½ lbs jicama

1 lime, cut into segments

1 teaspoon chili powder, or more if desired

Directions:

Peel the jicama and cut it into bite-sized sticks. Arrange sticks on a plate or baking sheet. Sprinkle with lime juice and chili powder. Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for one day.
