Beef Free Jicama Sticks with Lime & Sea Salt
Crisp, refreshing, and impossibly easy to throw together, these jicama sticks are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Jicama has a satisfying crunch that holds up beautifully to bold flavors, and the combination of fresh lime juice, zest, sea salt, turmeric, and ginger gives each stick a bright, tangy kick with just a hint of warmth. A short rest in the marinade lets all those flavors sink into the surface, so every bite tastes fully seasoned rather than just coated. Torn cilantro scattered over the top adds a fresh, herby finish that pulls the whole thing together. Every single ingredient here is naturally plant-based and completely free of any animal products, so there is zero guesswork about what you are eating. This is the kind of recipe that works as a light appetizer, a party snack, or an afternoon pick-me-up when you want something vibrant without any fuss.

4 servings
- 1 medium jicama (about 1.5 lb), peeled

- 1 tsp lime zest
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, roughly torn (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the tough brown skin from the jicama, then cut away any remaining fibrous layer just beneath the skin until the flesh is fully white and smooth.

Cut the jicama into 1/2-inch-thick slabs, then cut each slab into sticks roughly 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide — similar in shape to thick-cut french fries.
