Cinnamon Free Jicama Sticks with Lime & Sea Salt
Crisp, cool, and bursting with citrus, these jicama sticks are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Jicama has a satisfying crunch that holds up beautifully to the bright punch of fresh lime juice and zest, making every bite feel refreshing without being heavy. The seasoning blend here — sea salt, turmeric, and a hint of ginger — adds warmth and color without reaching for any of the usual warming spices that can be tricky to avoid. It's a naturally cinnamon-free combination that doesn't feel like a compromise at all; it just tastes intentional and good. A quick toss and a five-minute rest is all it takes for the lime and spices to soak into the surface, so the flavor goes beyond just a coating. Torn cilantro scattered over the top adds a fresh, herby finish if you're into it. This is the kind of simple, produce-forward snack you'll want to keep in your regular rotation.

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

- 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.
